robviti Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I also remember her character "Hotsy Totsy" on "Welcome Back Kotter." I read somewhere that she was engaged to a Port Authority cop who was killed on 9-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I read somewhere that she was engaged to a Port Authority cop who was killed on 9-11. That's right, she was engaged to John Dennis Levi, who died in the 9/11 WTC tragedy. She died just after her 52nd birthday, way too young...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 She's the one that was kidnapped by that scumbag who then ripped a tooth out with pliers in Dirty Harry. Eastwood fixed him but good in the stadium. ..not to mention on the dock... Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Twizzle Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Who can forget this 70s romance? (probably just about everyone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I saw Ms. Scott in most of the shows mentioned above and it always struck me that she usually played the sex kitten when in real life, I can't imagine her turning too many heads. A highly improbable dish, IMO. (Boy, I'd like to see Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Fernwood 2-Nite / America 2-Nite again!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chaney Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) She looked pretty good later in life, IMO Agree. Actress/Game Show Player Debralee Scott Dies at 52 She was introduced to television as the memorable Rosalie "Hotzi" Totzi on Welcome Back, Kotter. She was Cathy Shumway, the younger sister of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Angie. Actress Debralee Scott, who was a frequent face as a game show celebrity in the late 1970s and early '80s, died Tuesday night at her new home in Amelia Island, Fl. Scott, who had recently moved to the resort area near Jacksonville, turned 52 last Saturday. Long-time close friend Shelley Herman told TVgameshows.net of Scott's passing. Scott turns up frequently on GSN's Match Game reruns, which she populated from 1976-80. Among her other game show credits: The $20,000 Pyramid (with Soupy Sales and Peter Lawford, among others), Chain Reaction and Password Plus. In recent years, Scott became a personal manager based in both New York and Los Angeles. Herman said Scott moved to north Florida to help care for her sister. "I talked to her Saturday on her birthday," said Herman. "A week before, she mysteriously went into a coma for three days. She woke from it joking with the nurses. She told me the nurse kept asking her, 'Do you know where you are?' She replied, 'Obviously, I'm in the hopsital.'" Doctors apparently could not determine a reason for the coma. She returned home on her birthday to unpack belongings shipped from Brooklyn. Scott, who was one of several favorites of the many supporting comedy actresses who populated the lower tier of Match Game, encountered a tragedy during the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Her fiance, New York Port Authority officer J.D. Levi was killed. Scott worked tirelessly to help Levi's mother obtain money from the national relief fund for 9/11 victims' families. Herman said Scott particularly enjoyed working for producer Bob Stewart. "A few years ago, I sent her a copy of a pilot she did, hosted by David Letterman for Bob Stewart," Herman said. "She loved seeing it and said she was sorry she didn't still have the sweater she wore on the show any longer." Herman, a former writer for Supermarket Sweep, said Scott was crazy about the grocery game and frequently pleaded for a celebrity version so she could play. According to Herman, Scott dated former Beatle Ringo Starr in the 1970s. "On one of her many appearances on The Merv Griffin Show, (Merv) introduced her by saying she was dating Ringo," remembered Herman. "Having just split up from Ringo, she yelled to Merv while standing in the wings, 'Not anymore!' It got a huge laugh." Born April 2, 1953 in Elizabeth, N.J., Scott was the sister of producer Scott Bushnell and talent manager Jeri Scott. Scott was cremated Thursday. Herman and fellow close friend Anne Lockhart are considering a private memorial for Scott in Los Angeles.
