Via the Hollywood Reporter: ‘Rae, who earlier earned two Tony nominations and played Woody Allen's mother in Bananas(1971) and a long-suffering wife on the classic sitcom Car 54, Where Are You?, revealed in April 2017 that she had been diagnosed with bone cancer, seven years after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. “Now, at the age of 91, I have to make up my mind,” she said in a statement at the time. “I'm not in any pain right now. I'm feeling so terrific and so glad to be above ground. Now I have to figure out whether I want to go have treatment again or opt for life. I love life. I've had a wonderful one already … I've had a great life, but I have so many wonderful things happening. I'd like to choose life. I'm grateful for the life I've already had.'
