| 2 | Composited with Lucille Kallen, was the inspiration for the character Sally Rogers, played by Rose Marie, on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961). |
| 3 | On Night Court (1984), the episode titled "Hello, Goodbye" (the first episode made after her death) was dedicated in her memory. At the end of the episode, a still photo of her is shown with a sound bite of Bull asking "So what didja think?" and Selma responding with, "I laughed I cried, it became a part of me". |
| 4 | 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 two seasons. In a sad ironic twist, her replacement, actress Florence Halop, would die of lung cancer the following year, after only one season. |
