Jean Stapleton, best known for her role as high-pitched, naive but loveable Edith Bunker on the 70's iconic comedy All in the Family has passed away. She was 90 years old. She passed at her home in New York City, the city where she was born and raised. Despite sharing a city, Stapleton was far different from her Edith Bunker character. She made her acting debut at 18 in summer stock while attending Hunter College. She went on to do off Broadway and Broadway shows, like Damn Yankees and The Bells Are Ringing. And eventually, she landed parts on television dramas and comedies. Stapleton was married to Bill Putsch, and they had two children. Putsch passed away in 1983. We hope they are now reunited, and our thoughts and prayers go out to Jean's friends and family.
