Jean Stapleton Dies At 90

Jean Stapleton, who portrayed one of TV's most iconic characters, passed away on Friday at the age of 90.


Stapleton starred as Edith Bunker, Archie Bunker's long-suffering wife, from 1971 to 1979.  It was a show that changed TV sitcoms forever.

The beloved "dingbat" - as Edith was often called - addressed issues like breast cancer and sexuality, topics that had never before been mentioned in a sitcom.






It has to be noted that Stapleton continued acting into her late 70s.
