Nan Martin Dies

Nan Martin, a veteran stage, television and film actress whose Broadway credits include “J.B.” and “Under the Yum-Yum Tree” and who played Ali McGraw’s snooty mother in the film “Goodbye, Columbus,” died on Thursday at her home in Malibu, Calif. She was 82.

The cause was complications of emphysema, said her son Casey Dolan.

Ms. Martin gained wide exposure in the late 1990s in the recurring role of the mean-spirited boss, Mrs. Louder, in the sitcom “The Drew Carey Show.”

…

Ms. Martin’s first marriage, to the screen composer Robert Emmett Dolan, ended in divorce. In addition to her son Casey, of Los Angeles, she is survived by her husband, Harry Gesner; another son, Zen Gesner of Malibu; and three grandsons.

Rest In Peace, Nan.
