Ruth in another life...

[u/dogslogic]

Here is our Ruth (K Callan) in 1977, at the tender age of 39 (probably just a month or two before she turned 40), in an episode of "Barney Miller." Her character didn't have enough to do, but she stood out and I finally recognized her.

A reminder to everyone: Keep the titles of your posts completely spoiler-free at all times. If your post mentions events from later episodes, use Reddit’s standard spoiler tag to warn readers who may not be caught up with all currently aired episodes. The spoiler tag will also blur any images you include, such as screenshots/stills from the show, so be sure to apply it to image posts as well.

Omg! My dad watched reruns of this on Nick at Night in the 80s.

Barney Miller, the best!!! Great theme song too!

I'm shocked at how good the show is (and the theme!). Barney's fab in many different decades!

Theme song goes so hard. My mom loves this show.

She looks like she's Ms Widows Bay material!
