Before the credits rolled on "Docked," NCIS aired a title card reading "in memory of our friend and colleague Harriet Margulies. We will miss you."
Margulies, who died at the end of October at the age of 94, had worked on the show throughout its entire 19-year run. Previously, she had worked on classic shows like Kojak, Magnum PI, Airwolf and Quantum Leap, as well as the show NCIS span off from, JAG.
For nearly two decades, she worked as the audience liaison on the show for its production company, Belisarius Productions.
This meant answering fan questions and information requests, organizing fan participation in conventions and organizing set visits for superfans. She also worked in the same role for previous Belisarius productions like JAG and Quantum Leap.
