GONZALEZ, REBECCA HERRIER

GONZALEZ--Rebecca Herrier, the talented, wellrespected, and
well-loved Broadway, film and television actress passed away
on January 5th, 2007, in Pacific Palisades at the age of 51.
Becky Gonzalez (as she was known professionally, and to her
friends) was born September 14, 1955, in Los Angeles. She
appeared on Broadway in 1980 in The Roast, directed by Carl
Reiner, and in L.A. in Zoot Suit. In film she starred in Ron
Howard's: Night Shift, and Garry Marshall's: Young Doctors
in Love. She was a featured member of the Mighty Carson Art
Players on the Tonight Show, and was a recurring regular on
Laverne and Shirley. She left show business to do what she
loved best, which was to be a wife and mother and President
of the local PTA. Her greatest pride and joy was her sons
Matthew, 22, and Joseph, 17, and seeing them grow into fine
young men. She is survived by her parents Robert and
Antoinetta Gonzalez and her brother, Robert. In lieu of
flowers please send donations in Rebecca's name to The
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

That's two cast members of "The Roast" to pass away within two months;
the show's star was Peter Boyle.
