Though Pleshette never became a blockbuster star, she often outshone weaker material in film (Jerry Lewis' 1958 Geisha Boy) and onstage (she met future husband Tom Poston in 1959's Golden Fleecing). Pleshette gained millions of fans on TV shows ranging from Dr. Kildare in the '60s to the more recent Will & Grace, where she had guest appearances.
