Another tragic loss for the world of entertainment.

Actress Connie Hines, 79, died today in Los Angeles. She is best known for her pathetic role as Carol Post in 144 episodes of the “Mister Ed” TV series from 1961 to 1966, where her on-screen responsibilities included making coffee, serving lunch and answering the telephone. This was the highlight of her career aside from a 1970 guest shot on “Love, American Style.” Connie is survived by co-star Alan Young, 90. The horse that portrayed Mister Ed was euthanized in 1970 after enjoying several years of retirement at an assisted living center in Pacoima, California. He was buried at the Snodgrass Farm in Oklahoma.
