Marge Bergman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marge Bergman was a character in the now-cancelled American soap opera, Search for Tomorrow. She was played, until her untimely death in 1971, by actress Melba Rae.

For many years, Marge was married to Stu Bergman, and had been best friends of her neighbor, widow Joanne Gardner. She and Stu were always there when Jo needed them, and always knew how to make things better. She was a great mother to her children, Janet and Tommy. Her most famous line was "Oh Jo, (or Stu, or whomever) it's not as bad as you think." Because she and Jo were best friends, their daughters, Janet and Patti became best friends as well.

When actress Melba Rae died of an unexpected cerebral hemmorage, the character also died off screen. After that, Stu and Tommy moved out of the family home, because of so many memories of Marge, and moved in with his married daughter, Janet, and her new husband, Dr. Wade Collins.
