Got divorced at age 42, started doing community theater, and moved to Hollywood at age 53 to become an actress. She had 121 acting credits by the time of her death in 2012.

Just shows it's never too late to follow your dreams.

While she did a lot of one or two episode stints (on a lot of shows), she landed 87 episodes on Desperate Housewives (2005–2012)

Yeah, that was new to me when I read the Wikipedia page. I only knew her as a character actress from guest appearances on so many shows from the 90s and 2000s.

Oh, she played the old lady in the "My Old Lady" episode in Scrubs -- Mrs Tanner. I really liked that episode.
