BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- "Gimme a Break!" star Nell Carter, who won an Emmy for playing the sassy, matronly housekeeper on the 1980s sitcom and received a Tony Award in 1978 for her performance in the Broadway musical "Ain't Misbehavin,'" died Thursday, her publicist said. She was 54.

The singer-actress collapsed in her Beverly Hills home and was found by one of her 13-year-old adopted sons, spokesman Roger Lane said.

I could care less if she ever worked again, but at 54 years old, it is a sad thing. My mom is about that age, makes you think about mortality.

RIP, Nell.

How sad. I keep seeing the image of Joey Lawrence, with that mop head of hair, shouting "Aunt Nell!" As she flings the child unto her ample bosom for comfort. She was indeed a "sassy, matronly" woman. My favorite skit was when the college-educated Thelma Hopkins was telling Nell, "I'm glad that black women have finally outgrown that Aunt Jemima stereotype." To which Nell, on her knees, scrubbing Chief Kiniski's floor in a kerchief says, "yeah!" I was on the floor laughing. Rest in peace Aunt Nell, you sang and danced your way into our memories and will live forever. RIP, Nell Carter.

I liked the show quite a bit. First Dolph Sweet (the show definitely jumped the shark after he died) and now Nell. What a bummer. May she rest in peace. May TV Land or Nick at Nite do something classy and show some episodes as a tribute. I'll watch.

Its a shame to go that young, but if your going to take in kids wouln't you want to take a little better care of yourself so you could be there for them.

[pinkyfloyd]

That's too bad. Nell Carter had the same birthday as me, September 13th. Not that that means anything, but it does remind you of your own mortality.
