Actress Susan Saint James has died. She was 80.
Saint James won an Emmy in 1969 for her role in "The Name of the Game" and co-starred with Rock Hudson in the 1970s crime series "McMillan & Wife."
Then, in the 1980s, she starred in "Kate & Allie," a sitcom about two divorced mothers. Saint James portrayed the free-spirited Kate who moves in with the strait-laced Allie, played by Jane Curtin.
