Im-Mobley

Mary Ann Mobley, who stepped into the shoes of the not even remotely similar-looking Dixie Carter as Mrs. Drummond in the final season of Diff’rent Strokes after the latter had had enough of listening to Danny Cooksey, has died at the age of 77. The first Mississippian to represent the United States at the UN as Miss America in 1959, Mobley went on to a thoroughly nondescript acting career highlighted by stints as one of the lesser lights on Match Game ’76, bit parts in two Elvis movies – Harum Scarum and Girl Happy – and a plethora of cameo appearances. She also married the equally bland Gary Collins, forming the couple mostly likely to happily occupy a Sears catalog.
