Bernadette Withers (February 5, 1946 – October 25, 2019) was an actress best known for playing Ginger on Bachelor Father, Janis on Karen, and Valerie in The Trouble with Angels. Some sources[1][2] claim that actress Jane Withers was her aunt, but since Jane Withers had no siblings[3] she did not have any nieces.
