Goodnight, Suzanne Pleshette

A few years ago, the satirical website The Onion ran a headline: "Universe ends as God wakes up next to Suzanne Pleshette". It was a clever take on the way the 1980s sitcom Newhart ended, with star Bob Newhart waking up in bed next to Pleshette, in character as his wife from his previous sitcom The Bob Newhart Show - revealing that the entire new series had just been a dream. Now, 70-year-old Pleshette, who also starred in The Birds and on the US stage, has woken up next to God. There's more at my Celebrity Deaths Archive.

Most vividly I remember

Most vividly I remember Suzanne Pleshette playing the role of Leona Helmsley in a TV movie from the early 1990's. Pleshette played "the Queen of Mean" so convincingly. She was a darn fine talent.
