Susan Saint James, ‘Kate & Allie’ star, dead at 80

Memories of Susan Saint James on Page Six extend beyond the shows named in its remembrance: viewers are also recalling the movie comedies Love at First Bite and How to Beat the High Cost of Living.

Saint James died Monday at 80 after pancreatic cancer, her representative confirmed to People, according to the report. Brian Faas revisits her career through archival photographs and television clips, including her work opposite Rock Hudson in McMillan & Wife and Jane Curtin in Kate & Allie.

The latter gets a small, recognizable moment rather than just a mention. Curtin's Allie complains that Kate never called her back; Saint James's Kate answers, "Let's go do the laundry."

The report reached roughly 31,000 views in ten hours, already far beyond the usual first-day audience for Page Six's regular videos. Its comments are also much busier than usual, with viewers naming the performances they remember.

Several single out her film comedy, particularly Love at First Bite. Others trace their memories further back to The Name of the Game, the series that earned Saint James an Emmy in 1969, before either of her best-known television partnerships.
