... Linda Lavin (October 15, 1937 -- December 29, 2024) was an American actress and singer. Known for her roles on stage and screen, she received several awards including three Drama Desk Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two Obie Awards, and a Tony Award as well as nominations for a Daytime Emmy Award and a Primetime Emmy Award. She was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2010. ...

From what I have seen of her appearances in TV shows, other than Alice (where she, imo, excelled), she was an actress I admire.

Less of an ego, and more of the performance.

A rarity.

R.I.P. Linda Lavin.

And thank you for the many (oh so many) smiles your performances have brought to me.
