As well as being one of the breakout stars of The Dick Van Dyke Show, she also worked as part of the show’s writing team.
While it was her role as Sally that made her a household name, she also found fame as a child actor.
You may remember listening to Baby Rose Marie when she was just three.
Back then she had her own radio show, but also worked as a singer and radio comedienne.
Her publicist Harlan Boll broke the news of Rose’s death by sharing a message on her official Twitter page.
“It is with broken hearts that we share the terribly sad news that our beloved Rose Marie passed away this afternoon,” the message read.
Devastated fans paid their respects online.
