A Philadelphia native, Ramsey began her decades-long career in show business on the stage as a cast member in the original Broadway and touring productions of “Hello, Dolly!” in 1964.

A decade later she starred opposite Bette Davis in the iconic flop musical “Miss Moffat”, an adaption of Davis’ classic 1945 film “The Corn Is Green”, which closed during out-of-town tryouts.

In the 70s, Ramsey would make her television debut in the variety show “Keep On Truckin”, appear on The Jeffersons, and hold a regular role on “Cos”. In 1978, she returned to Broadway in the acclaimed biographical musical “Eubie!” about jazz pianist Eubie Blake, starring Gregory and Maurice Hines.

In 1984 Ramsey made her big break in the Steve Guttenberg led “Police Academy” film franchise. She played the role of a  mild-mannered, squeaky-voiced Officer Laverne Hooks. The film spawned five sequels, and Ramsey appeared in all of them taking her all the way to the end of the decade with “Police Academy 6: City Under Siege” in 1989.

Marion Ramsey continued working well into the 2010s, with her final acting appearance occurring in the 2018 film “When I Sing”. Outside of her acting career, Ramsey was a fierce advocate for HIV and AIDS awareness. She is survived by her three brothers.
