Q: I saw Susan Saint James in an episode of "Suits" about a year ago. Has she done anything else lately? I feel like it's been a long time since I've seen her.
TV star Susan Saint James officially retired from acting after her hit sitcom "Kate & Allie" ended in 1989, however she seems to need a break from retirement now and then. About once per decade.
In the '90s, she did a guest spot on "The Drew Carey Show," playing the mother of her real-life niece Christa Miller's character, Kate.
Ten years later, she guested on a 2006 episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." This time, her only link to the show was as a fan.
