Mary Grace Canfield, who played carpenter Ralph Monroe on Green Acres, died Saturday of lung cancer at a hospice in Santa Barbara, Calif., her daughter told the Los Angeles Times.

Born in Rochester, N.Y., Canfield opted to attend an acting school rather than a traditional college and got her start on Broadway. She later moved to Los Angeles to pursue a screen career.
