Actress Doris Singleton died Tuesday in Los Angeles, reports Variety. She was 92.

Singleton is best known for her recurring role as Carolyn Appleby — Lucy and Ricky Ricardo’s over-zealous neighbor — on I Love Lucy. She appeared on the sitcom 10 times between 1953 and 1957.

”A day of saying hasta luego to two great ladies, Nora Ephron and Doris Singleton,” Lucie Arnaz, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s daughter, wrote on her Facebook page. “May they both fly swiftly heavenward and enjoy a blissful rest for jobs well done down here. They were loved and appreciated and will be missed.”

The comedienne also appeared on Ball’s later TV shows, as well as All in the Family, Hogan’s Heroes, My Three Sons, The Munsters, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Days of Our Lives, and Dynasty, among others.

Before she hit the small screen, Singleton danced with the American Ballet Theater and sang with bandleader Art Jarrett. She later lent her voice to radio, appearing with George Burns and Gracie Allen, Bob Hope, and Jack Benny.

Singleton’s husband of 61 years, Charles Isaacs, a comedy writer, director and producer, died in 2002.

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. said Thursday that it plans to split into two separate companies, one holding its newspaper business and the other its entertainment operations. Under the proposal, the global media conglomerate will be divided into two publicly traded companies. One entity will operate as a newspaper and book publishing firm. The other will be an entertainment company that includes the 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Fox broadcast TV network and the Fox News channel.

The Murdoch family, which controls nearly 40 percent of the voting shares in News Corp., is expected to maintain control of both companies. “There is much work to be done, but our board and I believe that this new corporate structure we are pursuing would accelerate News Corporation’s businesses to grow to new heights, and enable each company and its divisions to recognize their full potential — and unlock even greater long-term shareholder value,” Murdoch said in a statement.
