Helen Page Camp (December 27, 1930[ citation needed] – August 1, 1991 [1]) 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.[ citation needed]
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.[ citation needed]
In 1971, she was in the movie Cold Turkey as Mrs. Watson.[ citation needed]
Later, she made guest appearances on popular shows such as The Wild Wild West, Maude (six 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. [2]
In early 1976, the characters of Laverne De Fazio ( Penny Marshall) and Shirley Feeney ( Cindy Williams) from Happy Days 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.
Camp portrayed Tanya Terwilliger on The Tony Randall Show (1976-1978), [3]: 1095 Millie Capestro on 13 Queens Boulevard (1979), [3]: 1073 and the title character's mother on Richie Brockelman, Private Eye (1978), [3]
In 1990, Camp assumed the role of Margaret Furth on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.[ citation needed] Ms. Camp's final television role saw her as Hope Lacey in the "Faith, Hope & Charity" episode of MacGyver (S6.E18) that aired on March 18, 1991.
Camp died in Los Angeles, California after a stroke on August 1, 1991, at the age of 60. [1]
