She had a huge love for New York, for acting, for her colleagues at JFK and, most of all, her family and her circle of friends (which was also huge). She was someone for whom friendliness and kindness were not what she did but more who she was as a person.”<\/p>\n She played a cop in Amazon Prime’s hit series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel <\/i>in one episode in 2023, and earlier in the NBC shows Blindspot<\/i>, New Amsterdam <\/i>and American Odyssey.<\/i>\n<\/p>\n Davis also appeared in the 2004 short film Ladies Room <\/i>and in the 2011 drama Shame<\/i>.<\/p>\n
