(WTVO/ABC News) — ABC News is reporting that actress Valerie Harper died Friday morning, one week after celebrating her 80th birthday.

Harper gained fame for playing the wisecracking Rhoda Morgenstern on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

She was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009. In 2013, she spoke about being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

After her diagnosis, she appeared as a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

According to Forbes, last month, Harper’s husband, Tony Cacciotti, announced on Facebook that he would not be moving her into hospice care, despite recommendations from her doctors.

“For those of you who have been in this position, you will totally understand that it’s hard letting go. So as long as I’m able and capable, I’ll be where I belong right beside her,” wrote Cacciotti on Facebook. “Many, many thanks for your outpouring of kindness and support.”
