Sadly, acting veteran Helen Slayton-Hughes passed away this week at age 92. “Helen passed away last night,” her family said in a statement. “Her pain has ended but her fierce spirit lives on. Thank you for the love and support of her and her work. Rest sweet one.” Slayton-Hughes had been working in Hollywood for over 40 years and made appearances in many major shows including The West Wing, NYPD Blue, and Arrested Development. However, many will know her best from her role as Ethel Beavers on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. Many people have taken to social media this week to pay tribute to Slayton-Hughes, including some of her Parks and Rec co-stars. Both Aubrey Plaza and Adam Scott wrote kind words about the actor on Instagram this week.
