WKRP in Cincinnati Loni Anderson died Sunday at the age of 79, her rep said.
Anderson, who played a struggling radio station's empowered receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on the hit CBS comedy, died Sunday, just days before her 80th birthday.
I remember in the fifties people retiring at sixty-five and within a year or so they were dead. Many never made it to sixty-five. I remember people in their early sixties, especially men, all shriveled up an and bent. Ancient man. I just looked it up. An Americian man's the life expectancy in the 50's was 65.6 years. Women were 71.1.
I remember those life expectancies too! In the day, I was working for Grumman (before they merged with Northrup) and every time a guy retired, he was dead within a few years. That saved Grumman lots of money in pensions. My theory was that after they retired, they just sat on their duff all day And the fats just plated out on their coronary arteries.

Do you remember when we thought 80 was old and anybody who lived to 75 had had a long life? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSigh, I had such a crush on her back in the day.

DeleteLoni Anderson? I was wrong again. I had Jane Fonda in the weekend Death Pool, but I'll keep trying since no one likes a quitter.
