With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of this beloved actress who graced our screens for decades

When she retired in 1985, however, she decided her dream wasn’t over.

It was finally time to pursue it.

Her Acting Journey Began Later in Life

Approaching 60, Levine started attending auditions and entering an industry where many people believe opportunities become harder with age.

That didn’t stop her.

Over the years, she built an impressive list of television and film appearances, including roles in Cadillac Man, Law & Order, Gilmore Girls, Everybody Loves Raymond, Shameless, Ugly Betty, Criminal Minds, and the Oscar-winning film La La Land.

Her career became proof that success does not always follow the timeline people expect.
