Default Edith Bunker Passed Away Yesterday
Jean Stapleton was 90 years old..

I really enjoyed her acting in All In The Family, while growing up.

I can still sing that song word for word. She was a staple in our house after school.

Boy the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.

She really was a heck of an actress with the way she portrayed Edith.

RIP

I watched that show religiously for years growing up, and it was a real educational experience of how not to be like Archie.

She also turned down the chance to star in the popular mystery show, "Murder, She Wrote," which became a showcase for Angela Lansbury. Stapleton worried about typecasting, rejecting any roles, commercials or sketches on variety shows that called for a character similar to Edith. Despite pleas from Norman Lear not to let Edith die, Stapleton left the show, re-titled "Archie's Place," in 1980, leaving Archie to carry on as a widower.

She was a true trooper in the finest sense of the term.

I liked it then and still like watching All In The Family. Edith Bunker was one of the reasons I liked the show. May she rest in peace and be blessed by God.

She also vehemently resented being called "Edith" on the street by fans and other passers-by. When called thus, she immediately rebuked the offender replying, "my name's Jean, not Edith."
