Rose Marie, best known for her role as Sally Rogers on The Dick Van Dyke Show, has died in California. She was 94.

Rose Marie was Emmy nominated three times for her work on The Dick Van Dyke Show, in which she played part of the writing team, led by Van Dyke's Rob Petrie.

The actress began a five-season stint as Rogers in 1960, but decades earlier, she had been a child singing star under the name Baby Rose Marie. She began her career at 3, starring in her own show on NBC radio by the age of 5, cutting records and appearing in vaudeville.

Later, as a teenager, she became a nightclub singer before returning to radio as a comedienne.

She made a steady stream of TV appearances from the 1950s until the early 2000s.

Rose Marie Mazetta was born in New York City. She was married to trumpeter Bobby Guy from 1946 until his death in 1964.

She is survived by a daughter.
