(Jewish Group) Shelly Morrison, who played Rosario the maid in 'Will & Grace,' dies at 83
Shelly Morrison, a Jewish actress best known for her role as a maid on the long-running comedy series “Will & Grace,” has died.
Morrison, who retired in 2017 after a 50-year acting career, died Sunday of heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She was 83.
She played the Salvadoran maid Rosario Inés Consuelo Yolanda Salazar on the NBC comedy from 1999 to 2006. The part had been written as a one-episode walk-on, but Morrison ended up performing in 68 episodes over eight seasons.
Morrison was born Rachel Mitrani in New York to Jewish parents from Spain, and her first language was Spanish.

I loved her on "Will & Grace". I had no idea she was Jewish.
