I neglected to pay a small tribute to Jean Stapleton, whose work in the TV series All in the Family, I remember fondly as a teenager.
She had a prolific career. Of her passing Sally Struthers, who also played in All in the Family, said, “Jean lived so in the present. She was a Christian Scientist who didn’t say or think a negative thing … She was just a walking, living angel.”
Jean Stapleton (January 19, 1923 – May 31, 2013 [age: 90])
I saw her do the old woman in Candide at the Baltimore Opera.
