Another Too-Early Departure
-
Dead: Actress Elizabeth Pena, who you saw in a lot of stuff, from "Modern Family" (she was Sofia Vergara's mom on the show) and the movie "La Bamba" to guest shots on a ton of shows. But I'm mentioning it because she was the star of a sitcom everyone's forgotten except for the last episode. I'm talking about "I Married Dora," a short-lived ABC sitcom on which she played a green card wife, a housekeeper who married her employer to stay in America. On the last episode, the employer was shown abandoning the family and boarding a plane for a job overseas, but then he reappeared with ticket in hand and said, "it's been canceled." She asked, "The flight?" And he said, "no, our series!" And the camera pulled back and you saw the sets and crew and they all waved goodbye. I'm pretty sure that's the only time a series made an exit like that. (Variety)
