Margaret Hall

Margaret Hall

Margaret Hall (1931 - December 21, 2015) was an American actress and performer whose career lasted over six decades, beginning in the early 1950s. In 1960, she appeared in a Broadway production of Becket, starring Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quinn. In addition to her theater work, Hall had regular roles on the daytime dramas One Life to Live and As the World Turns and the nostalgic AMC series Remember WENN. In 2004-05, she had an ongoing spot on The Late Show with David Letterman — at the end of each episode, she would wave goodnight to the audience holding an immense bouquet of flowers in her arms. Hall was also seen in several feature films, including The Bell Jar, So Fine, Weekend at Bernie's, Party Girl and The Guru. Her television movies included The Holy Terror, Summer of My German Soldier, and Circus. She earned her final TV credit in 2011 with a role the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce. Hall was married to actor Gil Rogers from 1970 until her death in 2015 at age 84. They had one daughter, actress Amanda Hall Rogers.
