Rather than being remembered solely for starting late, Levine can be remembered for what she did after she started. She kept auditioning. She accepted unusual characters. She worked across comedy and drama, television and film. She supported other performers through Actors Connection and remained professionally engaged into her 90s.

From a school librarian who carried an unrealized childhood ambition to a working character actress appearing in internationally recognized television shows and films, Bunny Levine followed a path that was entirely her own.
