Out of respect for her family, I didn't want to say anything publicly until I saw it in the press.
But, I was shocked and devastated...https://t.co/jOOAAB7ztm

Post’s manager, Ellen Lubin Sanitsky, confirmed the actress died in a statement to Fox News on Sunday, noting that she passed after battling cancer for almost four years.
"Our pride is in who she was in addition to acting," her family shared in a statement. "A person who made elaborate cakes for friends, sewed curtains for first apartments and showed us how to be kind, loving and forgiving in an often harsh world."
Deadline notes that she was born in 1950 in Palo Alto, Calif. She got her career in show business started by working as an associate producer on the game show "Double Dare," oriiginally hosted by the late Alex Trebek.
However, her first on-screen credit came by way of appearances in 1970s shows like "CHiPs," "Barnaby Jones," "The Incredible Hulk," "The Lazarus Syndrome," "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and "Hart to Hart."
From there, her career in TV kicked into high gear with appearances on more high-profile shows like "The Love Boat," "Cheers," "Fantasy Island" and "The A-Team" in the 1980s before getting her breakout role of bail bondswoman Terri Michaels in the TV series "The Fall Guy." The outlet reports she appeared in 65 episodes of the action drama between 1982 and 1985.
From 1985 to 1992, she appeared as public defender Christine Sullivan for 159 episodes of the comedy "Night Court."
The Hollywood Reporter notes that fans may also recognize Post from the 1998 movie "There’s Something About Mary," in which she played the mother of Cameron Diaz’s character. She also had appearances later in life on popular shows like "Chicago P.D." and "The Kids Are Alright." After her cancer diagnosis, she still pursued acting with a role in the Netflix comedy "Santa Clarita Diet."
