It was a tragic day when Edith died (second season premiere episode of Archie Bunker's Place).

From the Edith Bunker page at Wikipedia:

It was only with great reluctance that producer Norman Lear killed off his beloved character. When Jean Stapleton reminded him that Edith was a fictional character, Lear took a long pause and with a sad tone responded, "I don't see it that way."

Rest in peace, Jean.

May you rest in peace, Jean. Yours was the voice of moderation in a dysfunctional family and you often stood your ground.

She was an unforgettable character. What an actress!

They say these things come in threes:

Harvey Korman

Jean Stapleton

Does Frank Lautenberg count as the third?
