Julie said in a statement to Deadline : "She was the funniest, smartest person I ever met.
"And talented. She knew everything. Now I won't be able to call her and ask her questions."
The actress is survived by a daughter named Lizzie Collector.
Strassman began her career as a singer, but reached new heights when she was cast as Gabe Kaplan's on-screen wife in the hit sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.
She went on to play level-headed Julie Kotter from 1975 to 1979.
Strassman worked frequently through the 1980s, but once again became a fixture in the public eye through her role as Diane Szalinski in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids films.
In more recent years, Strassman made recurring appearances in Third Watch and the television version of Tremors.
