Dallas and The Jeffersons actress Roseanna Christiansen has died aged 71.
The cause of her death is unknown at this time.
The star died on July 14 at Antelope Valley Medical Center in Lancaster, California.
Christiansen is best known for her role as Teresa, a Southfork ranch girl, in the last nine seasons of the series Dallas.
She joined the show during its sixth season in 1982.
Before Dallas, she played another maid, Carmen, in the 1981 season of The Jeffersons.
This was a brief stand-in role for Marla Gibbs’ character, with Christiansen only appearing in three episodes, Deadline reported.
Gibbs originally left the show to star in her own spin-off, Checking in.
However, the spin-off was unsuccessful and only lasted four episodes, prompting Gibbs to return to her role in The Jeffersons.
Christiansen started her acting career young. At the age of nine, she starred with her brother Victor in an Off-Off-Broadway play, the outlet reported.
The New York actress is survived by husband Steven Rizzo, children Josiah and Grace, and sister Elba.
