Popular television psychologist and columnist Joyce Brothers passed away at her home in Fort Lee, New Jersey on Monday, her family confirmed to NBC News. She was 85.

Brothers died peacefully, surrounded by family, according to an obituary written by her family and provided to NBC News.

Dr. Joyce Brothers, known as the first psychologist of the television era, appeared for decades as a talk show regular. NBC's Brian Williams reports.

She was born on October 20, 1927 in New York City and married physician Milton Brothers in 1949


She was one of those people who seemed ubiquitous in the 1970s. I'm pretty sure I remember her doing a guest-spot, as herself, on Happy Days. Possibly she diagnosed Fonzie's dog as suffering from a mental illness?

Wow. She did a lot of TV. And long after the 70s were over too.

In addition to being called upon for her expertise in psychology, Brothers also appeared on a number of television shows, including Saturday Night Live, CHiPs, Simon & Simon, Ellery Queen, Mama's Family, Taxi, Happy Days, Police Squad!, Police Woman, Night Court, The Nanny, Frasier, The Andy Dick Show, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, One Life to Live, WKRP in Cincinnati, Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, Mr. Belvedere, Married... with Children, Entourage, The Simpsons, All That, Kenan & Kel, The Steve Harvey Show, My Two Dads, Melrose Place, ALF, The Larry Sanders Show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Moonlighting and Suddenly Susan.


I think she was Vickie Von Vickers in the "Dayton Poisoner" episode of WKRP.
