FAREWELL, LONIE ANDERSON

You were one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the television screen, the big screen, a magazine or poster.  

As Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP In Cincinnati, you stole many a heart (and libido), and I was no exception, but your talents extended beyond that classic sitcom, with a variety of appearances in a variety of shows and movies. 

On the feature side, you adorned The Jayne Mansfield Story, White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd, Stoker Ace, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Nevada Smith, Vigilante Force, Sizzle, Munchie, The Lonely Guy, Sorry, Wrong Number 1988, Gambler V: Playing for Keeps, Three on a Date, A Letter to Three Wives, Stranded, Country Gold, My Mother's Secret Life, Coins in the Fountain, Deadly Family Secrets, Whisper Kill, Too Good to Be True, Necessity, A Night at the Roxbury, Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas, The Magnificent Magical Magnet of Santa Mesa and 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain.  

Among your television, guest spots, you graced The Incredible Hulk, The Invisible Man 1975, Amazing Stories, Harry O, Barnaby Jones, B.L. Stryker, Police Woman, Police Story, S.W.A.T., Burke's Law, V.I.P., Phyllis, The Bob Newhart Show, The McClean Stevenson Show, Fantasy Island, Empty Nest, Nurses, Women of the House, Melrose Place, The Love Boat, Three's Company, Three Sisters, Baby Daddy, Movie Stars, Clueless, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, A Sean Cassidy Special, The New WKRP in Cincinnati, My Sister is So Gay, So Notorious, The Mullets, Partners in Crime and for a fruitful, twenty-two-episode run, Easy Street.

You were an angelic vixen, Ms. Anderson, full of seduction and comedy, of seriousness and frivolity, worthy of your pop-icon stature and now the legendary spot you'll occupy in Heaven.
