Popular psychologist Joyce Brothers, R. I. P.

I remember when she was on The $64,000 Question, and he category was boxing.

Popular psychologist Joyce Brothers has died in New York at age 85.

Remember the Roseanna Rosanadanna bit: "Hey Doc, stop flicking that sweatball off your nose. Waddaya tryin' to do, make me sick?"

RIP

And who can forget the Daily News (I think it was) headline above a picture of Joyce when the Quiz Show Scandal broke: "They Even Fixed the Kid!"

I believe that the "Fixed The Kid" headline refers to Patty Duke, who appeared on $64,000 when she was about 8.

Dr. Joyce Brothers was cleared of all fix charges when she proved that she had memorized The RING Magazine Boxing Encyclopedia before going on.

And of course, she went on to host advice shows, play herself in comedies, and ultimately get murdered on Ellery Queen ("The Adventure Of The Two-Faced Woman", FYI).
