Jean Stapelton has died

RIP Jean! Now you can play the piano with Carrol in heaven!

Jean Stapleton, who played Archie Bunker’s long-suffering wife Edith in the long-running 1970s television series “All in the Family,” died Friday at her New York City home. She was 90.

Stapleton died of natural causes, her family announced Saturday.

She had been a veteran of stage, film and television when she was cast in the CBS sitcom opposite Carroll O’Connor’s loud-mouthed, bigoted Archie Bunker, who often addressed her as "dingbat." She won three Emmys for the role.

A while back I thought she was already passed.

Shows what I know.

Other roles I liked that Jean Stapleton played.

1). On Captain Kangaroo's 25th Anniversary special, she played an obsessed fan who watched every episode of the CBS series.

2). A 1979 tv-movie where she coached kids who lived in a rough Baltimore neighborhood & played in a baseball team. Aunt Mary, first seen on CBS. Robbie Rist was in that movie as well.

3). The title role in a Disney Channel movie; Mother Goose Rock & Rhyme.

She was really great in the Edith role; such a lovable character.

Even though I don't think "Edith" appeared onscreen during her death episode in Archie Bunker's Place, it was a terribly sad moment when she died and we all had to see Archie coming to terms with her passing.
