                American Psychologist Joyce Brothers Dies at 85

   American psychologist and pop-culture figure Joyce Brothers, who
   parlayed her 1950s game show celebrity into a six-decade media career,
   died Monday. She was 85.
   Her long-time publicist said she died in New York City of natural
   causes.
   Brothers, who once taught at Columbia University, first gained fame on
   the 1950s game show "The $64,000 Question" for her encyclopedic
   knowledge of boxing.
   She became the only woman to win the show`s top prize, and by 1958 NBC
   television had signed her as a program host who dispensed advice on
   love, marriage, sex and child-bearing.
   Brothers also boosted her celebrity as an author and magazine
   columnist, and wrote a syndicated advice column that appeared in more
   than 350 newspapers. She also appeared in film roles portraying her
   professional self in more than a dozen Hollywood movies.
