Helen Page Camp

Helen Page Camp (December 27, 1930 – August 1, 1991) was an American actress.

Born to Austin and Helen (née Landes) Camp in Washington, D.C., Camp's career began onstage, most notably Off Broadway in New York City. Her first known or credited screen appearance in film or television came in 1968, when she was 37 years old, as "Lucy" on Here Come the Brides. Later, she made guest appearances on popular shows such as The Wild Wild West, Maude (appearing six times, all in different roles; most notably, with James Coco as the swinging married couple, "Channing and Hortence McGrath"), All in the Family, Cheers, Gimme a Break!, Thirtysomething and Newhart.[1]

In 1971, she was in the movie Cold Turkey as Mrs. Watson. In early 1976, the characters from Happy Days of Laverne De Fazio (Penny Marshall) and Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams) were spun off into an equally successful eponymous sitcom, Laverne & Shirley, and Camp was cast in two episodes as the girls' landlady, Mrs. Havenwurst, but the role was short-lived. In the fall of 1976, actress Betty Garrett permanently replaced her as Laverne and Shirley's new landlady, Mrs. Babish. In 1990, Camp assumed the role of Margaret Furth on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Camp portrayed Tanya Terwilliger on The Tony Randall Show (1976-1978),[2]^: 1095 Millie Capestro on 13 Queens Boulevard (1979),[2]^: 1073 and the title character's mother on Richie Brockelman, Private Eye (1978),[2]

Camp died in Los Angeles, California of a stroke on August 1, 1991, at the age of 60.[3]
