365 Days of Columbo: February 18th

Happy birthday to Columni Eleanor Zee

Not a lot is known about actress Eleanor Zee. We're not even sure if she's still alive, though IMDB does list her as working as recently as 2015. She's appeared in a few things over the years, most notably as Adam Sandler's mom in Funny People. Columbo fans will know her best as Artie Jessup's roller derby-loving girlfriend Thelma in A Friend in Deed.

I liked Ms. Zee and her chemistry with Val Avery's character, but unfortunately she only appears in the one scene. 

We know she was born on February 18th, 1931, but not where. Come on, you can wish her a happy birthday faster than that...come on, hurry up, she wants to sit real close!
