Arlene Golonka. She did a fair amount of Broadway work, and a lot of TV. She was “Millie Swanson” on “Mayberry R.F.D.”, and did a lot of guest spots on other shows.
Noted:
Golonka played several characters on a 1965 comedy album, You Don’t Have to Be Jewish, which soared to No. 9 on the Billboard charts. When she couldn’t do the follow-up record, she recommended [Valerie] Harper for the job.
Also:
She portrayed another prostitute opposite Clint Eastwood in Hang ‘Em High (1968) and was the wife of a CIA agent (Peter Falk) in The In-Laws (1979).
Robert Hogan. Man, he was in every damn thing: as the headline notes, his career stretched from “Peyton Place” to “The Wire”, with stops along the way at the various “Law and Order” franchises, “Quincy, M.E.”, “Alice”, “Barnaby Jones”, “The Rockford Files”, “Richie Brockelman, Private Eye”, the good “Hawaii Five-O” and many other series…
…yes, including “Mannix”. (“The Crime That Wasn’t”, season 4, episode 18)

My wife mentioned this to me yesterday. She always struck me as a pleasant person. I don’t know why I take this from people who portray characters that are written for them. The lady might have been a horrible person, but because I was used to seeing her as playing nice characters, I automatically a nice and decent person also.
That being said, RIP, Arlene. That was my mothers name, also. You gave us many hours of enjoyment from the work you did.
