The acclaimed actress, 74, was known for her role as Stephanie Vanderkellen on Newhart, which starred comedy titan Bob Newhart as an author and innkeeper in a bucolic Vermont town. Duffy’s character was a spoiled cousin who tried to survive as the inn’s maid, despite feeling a bit too high-and-mighty for the job. She starred in the role from 1983 until 1990, when the hit series ended its run.
After the show concluded, Duffy headed to Designing Women to play Allison Sugarbaker, and eventually landed on the popular kids' network Nickelodeon to appear on the series Drake & Josh. Also boasting an acclaimed theater actress, fans are thrilled to see Duffy back on TV screens with a role as Mary Jones Davidsoul on Palm Royale, the popular Apple TV series that follows the drama of '60s high society in Palm Beach, Florida, starring Kristen Wiig, Leslie Bibb, Josh Lucas, and comedy icon Carol Burnett. But Duffy also has another exciting TV role on deck: She appears in the Peacock black comedy series The 'Burbs, an adaptation of the 1989 film of the same name. Duffy hit the red carpet this week and dazzled the crowds with her stunning smile.

Hollywood's Complex Aging Game
In a 2024 podcast appearance, Duffy spoke about how aging in Hollywood is “very awkward.”
“I’ll tell you something that drives me up a wall, because it’s symbolic of all of it,” Duffy said. “I have read for and actually played the role of a woman who’s older, that they have named Myrna — that takes place present day.”
“Now, I know what people were named who are my age, now. We were Patty and Kathy and Susie. These women that they write in older roles could have been at Woodstock,” said Duffy. “If you’re having them be 70 today in 2024.”
