Katherine Helmond, the Tony-winning actress who played the ditzy Tate matriarch on the groundbreaking 1970s comedy "Soap" and starred on "Who’s the Boss?" among many other roles, died February 23 of Alzheimer’s complications at her home in Los Angeles. She was 89. APA announced the news.

Helmond is best known for her starring roles as the ditzy Jessica Tate opposite Billy Crystal and Robert Guillaume on ABC’s 1977-81 primetime soap opera sitcom "Soap," for which she received four Best Actress Emmy Award nominations, and as the sexy and wise Mona Robinson — who showed that romance and excitement are not over for older women — opposite Tony Danza, Judith Light and Alyssa Milano on ABC’s 1984–92 series "Who’s the Boss?," for which she earned two Supporting Actress Emmy noms.
