Linda Lavin, the beloved actress best known for her iconic role in the 1970s TV sitcom “Alice,” has passed away at the age of 87. Her representatives have confirmed that she died in Los Angeles on Sunday from complications of lung cancer, with which she was recently diagnosed.

Lavin began her career in the late 1960s on Broadway before making her way to Hollywood in the 1970s. In 1976, she landed the lead role of Alice Hyatt in the CBS show “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” based on the Martin Scorsese-directed movie of the same name. The show followed the story of a widow who works as a waitress at Mel’s Diner in Phoenix, Arizona, to support her young son. The sitcom was later shortened to “Alice,” and Lavin’s character became a symbol for working moms everywhere. The show ran until 1985, and Lavin received two Golden Globe Awards for her performance.

In addition to her role in “Alice,” Lavin also starred in the popular 1970s sitcom “Barney Miller” and appeared in several Neil Simon Broadway plays, including “Last of the Red Hot Lovers” and “Broadway Bound.” She was nominated for four Tony Awards and won once for her performance in “Broadway Bound.”

Lavin’s career spanned over five decades, and she was known for her versatility and talent both on stage and screen. Her work resonated with audiences and critics alike, earning her a place in the hearts of many fans.

The entertainment industry has lost a true talent with the passing of Linda Lavin. Her legacy will live on through her memorable performances and the impact she had on the world of television and theater. Rest in peace, Linda Lavin.
