Marion Ramsey, star of cult film Police Academy, has died

According to information received by the BBC station, Ramsey died Thursday morning at his home in Los Angeles.

Actress Roger Paul Inc. reported that the woman had recently become ill, but did not name the cause of death.

Ms Ramsey, a fan of the Police Academy, was undoubtedly noticed by the somber voice of her filmmaker Laverne Hooks.

Of particular interest is Ramsey’s run on Broadway. One of the most significant years for her in the famous theater was 1978, when she had the honor of appearing in the production of the biographical musical about the famous jazz pianist Eubie Blake “Eubie!”.

“His passion for acting and his desire to spread sincerity to the world were immeasurable,” wrote Roger Paul Inc.

“Marion radiated kindness and the most penetrating light around her, like the flooded room she enters.

Those who knew her closest could feel that light fading. We will definitely miss him and will always remember him. “

Mr. Ramsey was born in 1947 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She began her career on stage, starring both on Broadway and in later productions of Hello, Dolly !, which were shown primarily on tour.

On Broadway, the actress has been particularly productive, with countless shows including Harold Prince’s Grind with Ben Vereen and Eubie’s with Gregory and Maurice Hines.

As the actress’s agent said, Ramsey was particularly pleased when the Broadway musical Dreamgirls was finally screened in 2006. The fact is that Ramsey was one of the singers who became the prototype for the three main characters of the authentic show of Broadway.

Ramsey’s career in television and the film industry began after his appearance on the sitcom The Jeffersons in 1976.

Since then, she has been seen regularly through the hilarious performances of Bill Cosby.

After appearing in six seasons of Police Academy, the actress’s face became familiar to fans of the franchise.

American actor Michael Winslow admitted on the social network Twitter that he could not find words to express the pain that the loss of Ramsey caused him.

“In the 1990s, the Police Academy had a huge impact on the comedy genre in general – movies were screened everywhere and everyone saw them,” recalls British producer Jonathan Sothcott. “Reincarnated by Hooks, Ramsey was simply unique – a great actress in the comedy genre.”

Here is the text uploaded to the Twitter movie account When I Sing (starring Ramsey’s latest film work): “I am deeply saddened to announce the lovely and cute and always happy loss of Mr. Ramsey. I will miss you so much . “
