My Take
Marcia Strassman gave me one of those warm, dependable screen presences that age gracefully in memory. Most people know her as the harried but loving mother in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and she nailed that blend of panic and tenderness perfectly. But she had real range across Welcome Back, Kotter, MASH, stage, and song, the mark of a working actress who could soften any scene. Performers like her rarely chase headlines, yet they make ensembles cohere. Her passing in 2014 was a quiet loss. I still find her comforting to watch, the sign of a genuinely likeable talent.
