Post was born Marjorie Armstrong Post in Palo Alto, California
on November 4, 1950. Even before joining Night Court
Post enjoyed success as an in-demand actress in Hollywood. She
made several appearances on series such as The Love Boat,
Fantasy Island, The A-Team and Cheers.
While Post was the first choice for the public defender role
on Night Court, she was co-starring with Lee Majors in
The Fall Guy when the courtroom series was starting.
It wasn't until the third season of Night Court, when
she had fulfilled her commitment to The Fall Guy, that
Post joined the Night Court crew as Public Defender Christine
Sullivan. The sparks between her character and Judge Harry Stone
kept viewers tuned in until the show's finale in 1992.
After her departure from the courtroom sitcom Post co-starred
in Hearts Afire with the late John Ritter. The hit show
lasted for three seasons. Since then, Post has made guest appearances
in a variety of television shows including Scrubs and
a recurring role on The District. She was also seen playing
Cameron Diaz's mother in the hilarious There's Something
About Mary. |
