Valerie Harper, the Emmy-winning actress who became famous for playing shoot-from-the-hip, loud-mouthed New Yorker Rhoda Morgenstern on the '70s hit "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and her own spinoff,"Rhoda," died on Aug. 30 at age 80, her daughter Cristina confirmed to ABC News.In January 2013, Harper was diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition that occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane surrounding the brain.
Though doctors gave the four-time Emmy winner only three months to live, Harper continued to promote her memoir,"I, Rhoda" and joined the 17th season of"Dancing With the Stars." More than a year after her initial diagnosis, she said in a statement that she was not"absolutely cancer-free" but remained"cautiously optimistic about my present condition and I have hope for the future."
After marrying improv performer Dick Schaal in 1965, Harper toured with The Second City improv troupe, which included Schaal and Linda Lavin, who would later star in the sitcom"Alice." She broke into television with a guest role on the soap opera"The Doctors."
