Beloved actress Linda Porter, known for her roles in Superstore and Twin Peaks, has died. She was 86.
Porter’s death comes after a long battle with cancer, Deadline reported.
Porter appeared on Superstore as Myrtle — a seemingly innocent employee of Cloud 9 store, who often threw customers for a loop with her hilarious, yet offensive one-liners.
While Myrtle was fired from the store, she continued to make appearances, most recently on the season 4 finale.
In addition to Superstore and Twin Peaks, Porter had roles on The Mindy Project, Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday, The Suite Life on Deck and American Horror Story.

Lauren Ash tweeted, “The Superstore team lost one of its best members. RIP Linda Porter. Always funny, always vibrant and ALWAYS enthusiastic. I don’t know that anyone loved our show more than Linda. Both you and Myrtle will be deeply missed. xoxo.”
