angelikaJ -> RIP Jean Stapleton (6/1/2013 3:30:09 PM)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqtAkvVCI-8 Jean Stapleton, an actress whose portrayal of a slow-witted, big-hearted and submissive — up to a point — housewife on the groundbreaking series “All in the Family” made her, along with Mary Tyler Moore and Bea Arthur, one of the foremost women in television comedy in the 1970s, died Friday at her home in New York City. She was 90. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/02/arts/television/jean-stapleton-who-played-archies-better-angel-dies-at-90.html?_r=0 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0822958/ http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/jean-stapleton Edit to add quote from NYT article

Rest in peace Jean.

...normally the death of someone in the entertainment industry doesn't faze me, but this one does. I'm genuinely sad the world is now without her.

NuevaVida -> RE: RIP Jean Stapleton (6/1/2013 5:59:53 PM)
I agree, Kaliko. She was a favorite of mine. A wonderful woman and an amazing actress. Aside from the amazing laughs she brought us, she had a warmth about her that's hard to match. Rest In Peace, dear Jean.

Funny lady. All in the Family was the one show we would sit down and watch as a family. 90 is a hell of a good run.

She was a talented actress and a nice lady and will be missed.

LadyPact -> RE: RIP Jean Stapleton (6/1/2013 8:33:19 PM)
My condolences to her family. It's truly sad that she passed away.

"All In The Family" was an amazing show and she was a tremendous actress. Stapleton was nothing like Edith Bunker but she made the character human and believable. I still enjoy it today even though I've seen most of the episodes a half dozen times each. May she rest in peace.

I told her I had a terminal disease and the dingbat just went ahead to get me a beer. She's a good li'l' submissive. R.I.P., Ms. Stapleton

A theater and musical comedy professional who went on to become an icon because of television. She was well respected by those in the business in both venues. Remember how often when the writers of All In The Family needed something very warm and human they would turn to her to be the balance to Carroll O'Connor's bombast. There really is only one proper way to describe her. She was a "class act".
