The late Marcia Strassman stars alongside Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer in a 1985 short

Marcia Strassman passed away this weekend after a battle with breast cancer at the age of 66, far too young for such a talented comedic performer. While certainly most known her for roles in "Welcome Back, Kotter" and the HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS films, she was in a heck of a lot more than that. Check her out in this 1985 musical short mock industrial film about a corporate name change made for David Letterman's "Holiday Film Festival" TV special with Michael McKean, Harry Shearer (who wrote and directed) and Christopher Guest, the latter playing a bit of a proto-Corky St. Clair.
