Shirley died quietly, and without much media fanfare. Her gardeners arrived at her home in West Covina, California on December 10th only to find Shirl face down in her bedroom, a victim of kidney failure. There was no pick in her hair. Shirley was an icon. A tour-de-force comedic presence equaled only by Jimmy JJ "DYN-O-MITE" Walker and maybe Marla Gibbs. Many of my early impressions of black people were formed by Shirley givin' Rerun and Dee the what-for. She also starred in the late 1980's follow-up sitcom "What's Happening Now!!"
