This is much better than the thread I was going to start: "Dingbat Dead"

Seriously, though, she was a class act. RIP.

Sadly appropriate that she left us on a Saturday:"All In The Family" was first broadcast on Saturday night.

RIP

Very sad. Now it's just Gloria and "The Meathead" left.

A classic show and Jean Stapleton seemed like a class act.

She outlived her TV character by 30+ years. RIP.

I am glad she didn't play Jessica Fletcher. I think that role would have been deadening and it seems to me that she had a lot of fun after Edith ended doing theater and singing.

RIP, Jean, though in truth, I thought you had already departed. Must have been your character in Michael that I was thinking of.
