I have just been informed that Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker on "All In The Family," has died at 90.
On AITF, she played ditzy housewife Edith, who was nicknamed "Dingbat" by Archie. She played the role from 1971-79, when the character died, and Archie had to deal with being a widower. As a result, the show was retitled "Archie Bunker's Place," and was devoted to him owning a bar.
She and Carroll O'Connor opened the show by singing the theme song "Those Were The Days" onscreen- the only time any cast members of any TV show ever did that.
So RIP, Ms. Stapleton. You will be missed by those who got the chance to see you on TV-myself included.
