    Marcia Strassman, the actress best known as the long-suffering wife on “Welcome Back, Kotter” and in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” died Saturday after a seven-year battle with breast cancer. She was 66.

    “She was the funniest, smartest person I ever met,” the actress’ sister, Julie Strassman, told Deadline.com. “And talented. She knew everything. Now I won’t be able to call her and ask her questions.”

    Her five-decade career started with guest appearances on the Patty Duke Show, before appearing as Nurse Margie Cutler in six episodes of “M*A*S*H.”

    But she remains best-loved as the on-screen wife of Gabe Kotter, a Brooklyn high school teacher played by Gabe Kaplan on “Welcome Back, Kotter.” Kaplan would end every episode by telling Strassman’s character a ridiculous anecdote about one of his family members.

    I never saw her as an older woman. 66 is not that old. It's a real shame to see her go.
