Actress Loni Anderson passed away on Sunday, leaving behind a legacy of her iconic role in the 1970s sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati.” According to TMZ, Anderson died from metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma, an aggressive and rare form of cancer that often starts in the uterus and can spread to other parts of the body.
Anderson, 79, had been struggling with a prolonged illness before her death at a Los Angeles hospital. Her personal life also made headlines, including her high-profile marriage to actor Burt Reynolds, whom she married after costarring in the 1983 comedy “Stroker Ace.” The couple tied the knot but divorced five years later.
Anderson’s passing marks the end of an era for fans who grew up watching her on TV. She will be remembered for her beloved portrayal of Jennifer Marlowe, a character that remains iconic to this day.
