Margaret Whitton Dies; Major League Actress Was 67
Margaret Whitton, a veteran actress and producer best known for playing the main antagonist in the beloved comedy Major League, died on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida.
She was 67 years old.
Whitton’s producing partner, Steven Tabakin, confirmed the sad news to Entertainment Weekly.
“Because Margaret kept her brief battle with cancer very private, the news of her death is one of those unexpected twists and turns in the story,” he said in a statement to the publication, adding:
“As you might imagine, Margaret faced her illness with all the grace and wit she brought to every facet of her life.”
The actress was a Philadelphia native who was born on November 30, 1949.
She kicked off her acting career on stage, appearing in 1973 in an off-Broadway production of Baby Goya, which also featured acting great Olympia Dukakis.
After that, Whitton made her Broadway debt in 1982 with Nell Dunn’s Olivier Award-winning comedy Steaming.
But it was Whitton’s role in the 1989 classic Major League that left a lasting imprint on entertainment fans.
She portrayed in the film, an ex-showgirl who inherited the Cleveland Indians and attempted to run the team into the ground in order to force a move to Miami.
Once the team learns of her dastardly plot, players grow inspired to win as often as they can to spite her.
Whitton played a key role in the original movie and again in the 1994 sequel, in which Phelps sought revenge.
Other films on Whitton’s resume included in 9 1/2 Weeks (1986); The Man Without a Face (1993); The Secret of My Success (1987); and Ironweed (1987).
On the television side of things, she starred in Hometown, A Fine Romance, and Good & Evil.
“No one could deliver a one-liner like Margaret,” wrote Tabakin to EW. “No one could be more scathing one minute and more vulnerable the next – she played all the notes. Girls wanna be her.”
Following her acting career, Whitton became president and executive producer of Tashtego Films, serving as a producer and developer.
She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Warren Spector.
“We don’t dare mourn Margaret because she would have a wicked one-liner to snap us back to the curves, the twists, the turns, the joy. Those incredible eyes, that delicious laugh,” Tabakin wrote, concluding:
“But we will remember her always, and how she made the world – and those of us lucky enough to share it with her for a while – just a little bit better.”
We send our condolences to her loved ones.

Bigly or Big League? The True Debate Rages On
Donald Trump battled Hillary Clinton on stage at the third Presidential debate on Wednesday night.
Among the many topics discussed?
What each candidate looks for in a Supreme Court Justice… what each candidate will do about Syrian refugees… whether or not Donald Trump is a sexual predator… Clinton’s controversial emails… and, of course, the most important issue of them all:
Whether or not Trump emphasizes certain plans or actions as “Bigly” or “Big League.”
Okay, granted. This was not discussed on the debate stage last night.
But it was discussed on Twitter. Bigly. Or big league. One or the other.
It was discussed a lot, is what we’re saying.
By the middle of the televised back-and-forth, in fact, the top Google trend was not immigration or tax cuts or Donald Trump claims to respect women more than anyone on the planet, LOL… it was bigly.
There was amply of talk about the pronunciation of this term on social media.
To wit:
Is Trump raising the bar on a vocabulary that typically includes just the words huge, wrong and #MAGA?
Not according to a Trump spokesperson who spoke to People Magazine during the debate.
This campaign source said that the Republican presidential nominee is, in fact, pronouncing “big league.”
He’s just doing it in a weird way, we guess. Which wouldn’t exactly be a first for Trump. You have heard how he says the country “China,” right?
Just ask Alec Baldwin to explain it to you if not.
However, Trump’s very own Twitter account appears to back up this claim by the anonymous People source.
As part of his barrage of post-debate Tweets following the ugly debate last night, he wrote the following:
(For the record, “bigly” actually is a word. It means “with great force.”)
So there we have it. Maybe.
Trump hasn’t exactly made himself into a modicum of truth-telling over the past year or so. You may not believe this, but not everything he says on social media is based in fact.
So we want YOU, the loyal THG reader, to chime in.
What do you think Donald Trump has been saying behind his lectern?
And the Winner is?
Donald Trump is confusing the nation. Does he continually say something is “BIGLY” or “BIG LEAGUE?” Weigh in now! View Poll »
Trump also referred to Clinton as a “nasty woman” during the debate and said he would have to wait and see the results of the election before he deemed them to be fair.
“I’ll leave you in suspense,” he told viewers, treating the peaceful transfer of power in a democracy like some sort of TV show cliffhanger.
He is a horrible, dangerous individual who comes across like a cartoon villain. Except he’s real. And he’s running for President of the United States.
And people outside of his family plan to vote for him!
Do you think he won the debate? Weigh in now:
And the Winner is?
