Curiosidades

Daughter of Marylee (Armstrong) Post, a poet, and noted nuclear physicist Richard Freeman Post (November 14, 1918 - April 7, 2015).

Had two daughters with her second husband Michael A. Ross: Katie Ross (born June 26, 1987) and Daisy Ross (born March 30, 1990).

Received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Lewis & Clark College in Portland Oregon.

She did some trick roping in The Wildest West Show of the Stars (1986).

Was born in Palo Alto, California, and grew up in Walnut Creek, California.

Attended Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, California; she was a cheerleader.

She passed away 27 days after fellow Night Court (1984) co-star Charles Robinson, who passed away on July 11, 2021.

Had been going by the name "Markie" since birth as her older brother couldn't say Marjorie and nicknamed her Markie.

Markie Post passed away on August 7, 2021, three months away from what would have been her 71st birthday on November 4.

Was cremated and her ashes returned to her husband Michael A. Ross.

Although the two shows were completely unrelated, Night Court (1984) ended in 1992 with her character, Christine Sullivan, leaving for Washington DC, and Hearts Afire (1992) began later that year with Post playing a new character, Georgie Lahti, who coincidentally worked in Washington DC (and later moving to a smaller town).

She was a lifelong Democrat.

1972 graduate of Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Oregon.
