Fans discuss who Marjorie Gross was after seeing an in memoriam tribute at the end of the season premiere, with speculation that she was a comedian, writer, or actress who died of cancer.
Just watched the season premire and saw a photo at the end labelled in loving memory of Marjorie Gross. Did not get a good look at the pic but it looked a bit like the actress who played Susan, only older and bald. Did anyone else see this? Did the actress REALLY die? Someone please clear this up for me. Please respond by EMAIL to [email]

I believe Marjorie Gross was a comedienne friend of Jerry's. I think I saw her once on a late night TV comedy show. By the looks of her picture, she either died of cancer or AIDS. But that definitely wasn't Susan.

I saw the picture of M. Gross at the end of the show last night and I thought that she looked like the woman who played the Bald Woman that Kramer set George up with, when George was going through his toupee phase. Could that have been M. Gross?

Yeah, I saw her on Howard Stern's show on E! a while back.. She was a writer on the show and she was battling cancer.--Nat P
She was a Creative Consultant. I found her name listed in the "Superman" episode. This was when Jerry was dating a woman named Lois and she worked for Jerry's schoolmate Duncan. Jerry had got an head start in the race and would never race again. Until Duncan threatened to fire Lois.

Nope. Not Susan. Susan was played by actress Heidi Swedberg.
I thought she was on the writing or production team. I vaguely remember seeing her name in the credits before.
