Nancy Malone, who appeared in numerous TV shows in the 1960s and 1970s and then made a successful transition to being a producer and director, died Thursday. She was 79.

The cause was pneumonia that arose from complications of leukemia, said publicist Harlan Boll.

Malone made her debut on Broadway as a teenager and went on to roles in TV shows such as “Naked City,” “Dr. Kildare,” “The Fugitive” and “The Partridge Family.”
