Bunny Levine, Librarian Turned Actress, Dies at 97
Bunny Levine, a former librarian who found a second career in acting, appearing in numerous television shows and films, has passed away at the age of 97.
Levine began her professional life as a school librarian in New Jersey after graduating from college in 1951. However, she harbored a childhood dream of performing and decided to pursue acting full-time after taking early retirement.
Speaking to her alma mater's student newspaper, The Daily Evergreen, in 2025, Levine described her lifelong desire to act as an innate calling, stating, "I don’t know why. I don’t know that many of us could explain why — it’s just something."
Despite her petite stature of 4'10", Levine enjoyed a prolific acting career spanning nearly four decades on network television. She was frequently cast in guest roles as "Old Lady," "Kindly Older Woman," or "Grandma" on popular series. Her extensive television credits include appearances in Gilmore Girls, Shameless, As the World Turns, Law & Order, Chappelle’s Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, Las Vegas, Private Practice, Ugly Betty, Community, Criminal Minds, 2 Broke Girls, The Mindy Project, Fuller House, and Mayans M.C.
In film, Levine made her debut in the 1990 movie Cadillac Man, starring Robin Williams and Tim Robbins. She later appeared alongside Adam Sandler in Don’t Mess With the Zohan, playing an "Older lady in the salon," and had an uncredited role as the grandmother in Sandy Wexler.
Her other film roles include a movie theater cashier in La La Land, Mrs. Grossman in Let Go, and Mona opposite June Squibb in the 2024 film Thelma.
