AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. (AP) - Actress Debralee Scott, a regular on the TV sitcom ``Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,'' and frequent face on the 1970s game show circuit, has died. She was 52.

Scott died of natural causes April 5, three days after her birthday, at her home in Amelia Island, said her sister Jeri Scott, a talent manager in Beverly Hills. The exact cause was not released.

Scott eventually met an agent in Los Angeles, and got her first major role on ``Mary Hartman'' at age 22. She later played the role of Hotsy Totsy on the show ``Welcome Back Kotter'' and appeared in two of the ``Police Academy'' movies. She also was seen regularly on the daytime game show ``The Match Game.''

She had been engaged to John Dennis Levi, a police officer with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey who was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.

3. I was reading my Entertainment Weekly tonight when I saw she had died.

Fifty-two is way too young. I also remember her from the short-lived "Angie" with Donna Pescow and from her role in "American Graffitti."

6. Do we know what happened?

Was it cancer? She a big drinker?

Bless her soul.

7. I can't find any details, but ...

something had to be wrong. 52 year old women just don't die of "natural causes" - there's nothing natural about death at that age. :-(
