Post was a longtime television regular who appeared in shows from Cheers to Scrubs. But she was best known for her seven-season run on NBC’s Night Court, the Manhattan municipal court sitcom that ran from 1984 to 1992 and starred Harry Anderson as Judge Harry T. Stone.

In season three, the later actor Post became a full-time cast member of Night Court as Christine Sullivan, a sincere and strong-willed woman who served as a constant foil to Dan Fielding, John Larroquette’s womanizing, narcissistic prosecutor. With comic rebuttal, Post’s Christine deflected Fielding’s lechery throughout the series’ run. Though an unrealized romance between Christine and Harry was often teased, Night Court ended with Fielding realizing the public defender was the love of his life.

Several of Post’s Night Court co-stars have died in recent years. Harry Anderson died at age 65 in 2018. In July, Charles Robinson, who played the clerk Mac, died at 75. NBC is currently developing a sequel to the series.

She had two daughters with her second husband, TV producer, and writer Michael A. Ross.

In a statement, the family said, “our pride is in who she was in addition to acting; a person who made elaborate cakes for friends, sewed curtains for first apartments and showed us how to be kind, loving, and forgiving in an often harsh world.”

Markie Post started in television behind the camera, working on the production crew of the game shows Double Dare and Card Sharks. Her first series regular role was in the Lee Majors action-adventure series The Fall Guy, in which she played Terri Michaels from 1982 to 1985.

Post’s other credits include playing Cameron Diaz’s mother in There’s Something About Mary; Elliot Reid’s mother on Scrubs; and appearances in The Love Boat, The A-Team, and Fantasy Island. While receiving chemotherapy treatments, Post acted in the Lifetime movie Christmas Reservations and guest-starred on the ABC series The Kids Are Alright.
