Audra Marie Lindley was born in Los Angeles, California, to a show-business family -- her father, Bert Lindley, was a stage and film actor. She got her early start in Hollywood as a stand-in, which eventually progressed to stunt work. After a while, however, she found stunt work not to her liking and went to New York in her twenties to take her talent to the stage. Among her many Broadway plays were "On Golden Pond", "Playhouse 90", "Long Day's Journey Into Night", "Horse Heavens", and many others. She was married twice--once to actor James Whitmore -- and raised five children.She appeared in many films and TV shows, and is probably best known for her work as the zany, randy, yet lovable doyenne Helen Roper, the sex-deprived wife of skinflint landlord Stanley Roper on Vivre à trois (1976) (the Roper characters were later spun off into their own sitcom, The Ropers (1979)). She died in the fall of 1997 while doing recurring work on shows Cybill (1995) and Une sacrée vie (1997), of complications from leukemia.
