NEW YORK CITY–Patricia Elliott, who won a Tony Award on her Broadway musical debut, went on to star opposite David Bowie in “The Elephant Man” and spent 23 years aboard the TV soap opera “One Life to Live,” died here Sunday of cancer. She was 77. MSTies familiar with the origins of MST3K may know that she played a nurse in the movie THE GREEN SLIME, seen in MST3K’s proof-of-concept “pilot.”

ABC has a nice obit.

Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.
