Suzanne Pleshette has passed away

Word is just now coming out that Suzanne Pleshette has died in Los Angeles. She was 70.

Pleshette did a lot of acting but she'll forever be known as Emily Hartley, the wife of Bob Newhart's character Bob Hartley, on The Bob Newhart Show in the 1970s.

Years later, Pleshette returned to the role of Emily in the series finale of Newhart, considered by many people to be one of the greatest final episodes of a television series ever. I watched it the night it aired, and if you've never seen it, trust me: it is an absolutely brilliant and hilarious shock twist that the show went out on, thanks to Pleshette's appearance.

She had been married to Tom Poston, who passed away last year. Now they are together again.

Thanks for the good laughs, Suzanne.
