Guilbert died of cancer on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
NEW YORK (AP) — Ann Morgan Guilbert, beloved as the next-door neighbor on The Dick Van **** Show and seen recently on the CBS comedy Life in Pieces, has died. She was 87.
Guilbert died of cancer on Tuesday in Los Angeles, her daughter Nora Eckstein said.
Recent TV appearances included a starring role on the hospital comedy Getting On and a guest spot on Grey's Anatomy. Guilbert was a regular as feisty Grandma Yetta on the 1990s sitcom The Nanny, and in the early 1960s, played Millie Helper, Laura Petrie's perky pal, on the acclaimed Van **** series.
She is survived by her two daughters.
She was hilarious in both "The Nanny" & "Dick Van ****" shows. RIP.

I feel so sad about Annie. She was brilliant as my Grandma Yetta. Such a sweet woman too.
RIP. Yetta always cracked me up. I think I laughed the hardest when she stood in front of the double door refrigerator
in the kitchen, and Fran asks her, "Yetta, what are you doing?" And Yetta says, "I'm waiting for the elevator."
