‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ Set Designer Dies in Shock Stabbing
Police found the 34-year-old fatally stabbed in her Queens home before discovering her husband’s body hours later.

A set designer whose credits included The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Goosebumps was found dead inside her New York City home in what police are investigating as a possible murder-suicide. Mary Kate Golding, 34, was discovered in the basement of her Astoria, Queens, home shortly after midnight Tuesday after officers responded to a call at the residence, according to the NYPD. Police said she had suffered a fatal stab wound to her back and was pronounced dead at the scene. Hours later, officers responding to a separate 911 call found an unresponsive man in nearby Astoria Park who was later identified as Golding’s husband, Joseph Azzaretto. An NYPD source told People that investigators are treating the deaths as a “possible murder-suicide.” Golding worked as a set designer and art department professional on productions including The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Marry Me, The Big Sick, Meet Cute, and Goosebumps. The news of her death comes two weeks after Josh Grisetti, who played Ralph Emerson on the fifth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, died by suicide at 44. The investigation into Golding’s death remains ongoing.
