Another one passes in 2013.

Although best known for her role in "All in the Family", and she was great in that, she also had a long stage and TV career outside that series.

She died surrounded by her family. She was 90.

She was great and All in the Family was the best.

R.I.P. Jean.

I'm going to miss her.

I loved "All In The Family". Both she and Carroll O'Connor were renowned actors before that sitcom.

The best dingbat that ever graced a tv series.

Us old guys remember what a great ground-breaking show "All in the Family" was in its day. No one but Carroll O"Connor and Jean Stapleton could have made it a success. "Edith Bunker" was one of a kind!

Boy, the way Glenn Miller played!

Grew up watching her in All in the Family. RIP.

Most people only saw her as Edith Bunker; if you ever get the chance to see some of her other roles or see her in clips of her interviews, you'd she a very dignified, intelligent and talented actor who has left the planet a bit better for her being here...

RIP, Ms. Stapleton and yes, when you were here, those were the days...

<O>
