My Take

Susan Sullivan is the kind of working actress I deeply respect, someone with a five-decade resume who kept reinventing herself for each era of television. Born in New York City in 1942 and trained at Hofstra University, she anchored soaps like Another World and Falcon Crest, then proved her comedic range as Kitty on Dharma & Greg. For my generation, though, she is Martha Rodgers on Castle, where her warmth and theatrical timing stole scenes for years. That longevity, from daytime drama to primetime sitcom to network procedural, is the mark of a true professional. She made every role feel lived-in, and that durability is rare.

Overview
