Brett Somers, R.I.P.

It hasn't hit the wire services yet but the website of actress and game show personality Brett Somers is reporting that she passed away on Saturday morning. At the moment, that's all it says so that's all we know.

Ms. Somers, who was born in 1924 in New Brunswick, Canada, was best known for her long run on The Match Game and for her marriage to actor Jack Klugman. She used to joke that the game show lasted longer than the marriage but in fact, they were wed from 1956 until 1974 and she did Match Game from 1974 until 1982. Still, it's what made her famous. If there's a place that game show panelists go after this life, she's probably already annoying Charles Nelson Reilly.

Thanks to Andy Rose for the tip-off. I would imagine it'll be on all the usual news venues shortly and that GSN will air a bunch of Match Game episodes in tribute.
