she played the redhaired girlfriend of Bob Falfa (Harrison Ford) in "American Grafitti".... Debralee also played Rosalie "Hotsy Totsy" on "Welcome Back Kotter" and Mary Hartmans younger sister, among many other tv roles and many movies.....she quit acting in 1989 to become an agent....no cause of death listed yet...

Incredible, Larry Bell. If you should find out what she died of, please illuminate me! Thanks! American Graffiti is one of my most 'fave' movies of all time...because...I grew up in Northern California in that same time-frame. I graduated in '62...supposedly when the movie was staged (tho' it's a '73 movie) and our town, our drag-strips, looked identical. If I could identify w/any one character in the movie it'd be John Milner--played by Paul Le Mat--he was me, or vice-versa! A fantastic movie by many people's votes! Ahhh, such is life! Thanks for sharing.... This message has been edited by Tytanium-K on 04-10-2005 at 08:18 AM |

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. - Actress Debralee Scott, a regular on the TV sitcom "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," and frequent face on the 1970s game show circuit, has died. She was 52. Scott died of natural causes April 5, three days after her birthday, at her home in Amelia Island, said her sister Jeri Scott, a talent manager in Beverly Hills. The exact cause was not released. Scott came from a family of show business insiders. Her eldest sister, Scott Bushnell, produced many of director Robert Altman's films. Middle sister Jeri Scott is an agent turned manager. The two older Scotts moved to San Francisco from their home town of Elizabeth, N.J., as young adults. A few years later, their father said their younger sister Debralee was "getting restless" and he asked if she could join them, Jeri Scott recalled Friday. "She was 16. She was supposed to finish high school, but I doubt she showed up," Scott said. "It was the '70s in San Francisco. It was wear a flower in your hair." Scott eventually met an agent in Los Angeles, and got her first major role on "Mary Hartman" at age 22. She later played the role of Hotsy Totsy on the show "Welcome Back Kotter" and appeared in two of the "Police Academy" movies. She had been engaged to John Dennis Levi, a police officer with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey who was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. Scott had just moved to north Florida to be with her older sister. Funeral plans were pending. |
