Died. Godfrey Cambridge, 43, actor and comedian; of a heart attack, while filming a TV movie in which he was playing Ugandan President Idi Amin; in Burbank, Calif. During the 1960s Cambridge frequently appeared on the Jack Paar Show and in several movies, including Cotton Comes to Harlem and The President's Analyst. His comic record albums and nightclub routines featured a wry racial humor. For blacks who have difficulty getting cab drivers to stop, he suggested a "rent-a-white" service to provide hailing by proxy.

Died. Rosalind Russell, 69, whose Irish effervescence sparkled on stage and screen for nearly 40 years; of cancer; in Beverly Hills, Calif. Russell worked on the New York stage before heading for Hollywood in 1934. After landing the part of bitchy, backbiting Sylvia Fowler in the 1939 film The Women, Russell went on to star in more than a dozen career-girl comedies, including His Girl Friday and My Sister Eileen. In 1953, she sang and danced in the Broadway hit Wonderful Town. Her voice, she admitted, sounded like a gargle, but her stylish energy was irresistible. Russell's most indelible performances may have been as the spirited, soignee Auntie Mame, who believed, as Roz did, that life was "a banquet." Neither the arthritis that ended her career nor TV reruns of her lesser films could quell her. "Flops," she once said, "are a part of life's menu, and I'm never a girl to miss out on any of the courses."

Died. Judith Lowry, 86, who played Mother Dexter, the obstreperous octogenarian on the TV series Phyllis; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. Lowry began acting in 1913, but she later interrupted her career for 30 years to raise nine children. Back on the boards at the age of 62, she appeared in numerous movies, plays, TV shows and commercials. In the late 1960s she posed for a poster that is still popular on college campuses. It shows Grandma Lowry in a rocking chair, serenely puffing pot.
