Linda Lavin, the renowned actress known for her role in the long-running sitcom “Alice” and her Tony-winning performance in Neil Simon’s “Broadway Bound,” passed away unexpectedly at the age of 87. Her representative confirmed that she succumbed to complications from lung cancer, which had recently been diagnosed. Despite her illness, Lavin remained active in the entertainment industry, attending events and filming the upcoming Hulu comedy “Mid-Century Modern.”

The creators of “Mid-Century Modern,” David Kohan, Max Mutchnick, and James Burrows, expressed their admiration for Lavin, highlighting her talent and infectious personality. Hulu and 20th Television also honored her contributions to the industry, acknowledging her seven-decade-long career.

Lavin rose to fame with her role as Alice Hyatt in the CBS comedy series “Alice,” based on Martin Scorsese’s film “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.” The show was a top-rated program for most of its run, earning Lavin critical acclaim and awards recognition. She continued to work in television and film, appearing in projects like “The Intern” and “No Good Deed.”

However, Lavin’s true passion was the stage, where she received six Tony nominations for her work in various plays. She was praised for her versatility in both drama and comedy, with critics lauding her ability to bring depth to her characters. Lavin’s Broadway credits include “Gypsy,” “The Sisters Rosenzweig,” and “Hollywood Arms.”

In addition to her acting career, Lavin was also involved in the establishment of the Red Barn Studio Theatre in Wilmington, N.C., where she and her husband, Steve Bakunas, produced and directed plays. Lavin’s dedication to the arts earned her a spot in the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 2011.
