She was 90.
Her death, which had not been publicly announced, was confirmed on Monday by public records.
RIP Bess Myerson

RIP Bess Myerson
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

(Beating Zach to the punch) Bess frequently appeared on game shows like I've Got a Secret, which I remember fondly.

Her obituary says she worked for eight years on the game show "The Big Payoff" which I had never heard of. That was on from 1951-9 so I'm surprised. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Payoffjarnon wrote:(Beating Zach to the punch) Bess frequently appeared on game shows like I've Got a Secret, which I remember fondly.

I once gave Betsy Palmer a ride to the Burbank airport after the Game Show Congress. She told me to give her a call if I'm ever in New York. Said she was in the phone book. I never followed up on that.zachhoran1 wrote:Of the most remembered classic I've Got a Secret panel(Bill Cullen, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson, and Betsy Palmer), only Betsy is still alive.jarnon wrote:(Beating Zach to the punch) Bess frequently appeared on game shows like I've Got a Secret, which I remember fondly.
