Capt. T.G. Culpeper: Well, what's the matter?
Ginger Culpeper: You keep forgetting if a girl is six-feet-five inches tall, she's bound to have special problems. They had some argument and then, they started screaming at each other. And now, the whole engagement's off, and she says she's leaving.
Capt. T.G. Culpeper: Leaving what? Leaving home? Let me talk to her. Get her to the phone.

Selma Diamond Facts
Selma had a deadpan demeanor and distinctively nasal crackle in her voice that was made for comedy. She was just becoming a household name thanks to her role as the impassive, chain-smoking bailiff on the sitcom "Night Court" (1984) when she died of lung cancer after only one season. In a sad ironic twist, her replacement, actress Florence Halop, would die of lung cancer the following year, after only one season.

Early careers included freelance writer, selling to the New Yorker.

Nominated for an Emmy in 1985 as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for "Night Court" (1984)
