Jill Jacobson, whose career in television spanned four decades, died at the age of 70.
Jacobson’s television credits include Star Trek, Falcon Crest, and The New Gidget.
Jacobson died on December 8 at Cedars-Sinai’s Culver West Health Centre after a lengthy illness.
‘We are extremely sad to say goodbye to our gorgeous, soulful, hysterically funny, beautifully raunchy client, Jill Jacobson,’ said her manager, Ben Padula, in a statement.
‘Jill was a total spitfire of an actress, with comedic timing straight out of a Marx Brothers film and Hollywood beauty dating back to its golden age.
‘Jill took us on so many adventures and she was an absolute blast. Thank you, Jill. We’ll see you in our dreams.’
‘Jill’s comic timing was brilliant,’ Caryn Richman, Jacobson’s The New Gidget co-star remembered. ‘And her enthusiasm and love of life made our time together on set joyful.’
The actress appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1989 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in 1996.
