James Burrows' death will sting for a very long time.

Wow, first James Burrows; and now, Clive Davis. We're losing too many legends too quickly.

Believe it or not, I remember her more for her appearances on "Three's Company," where she always played one of Jack Tripper's many gfs (except that one where she played the loan officer at the bank where Jack's attempting to get a loan for his bistro).

Same. I would have enjoyed her character Linda becoming a regular, but I guess that would have cut off many episodes about Jack's dating life. For the one episode Joyce DeWitt had to miss, Linda filled in the Janet role, and Anne just fit in perfectly.

I agree!

TBH, I think Jack, as a character, would have benefitted more from having a regular girlfriend like Linda than from dallying with all those "flavors of the week," which tended to be indistinguishable and a comedy black hole. As it was, I think the only other female who played well off John Ritter and who wasn't playing one of the roommates was Joanna Kerns, who played the gf who wanted a baby in "Jack Be Quick."

Edit. nevermind. the CliveDavis tweet didn't display, but now it does. I guess the glitch fixed itself.

It was June 25th 2009 when my parents didn't go to work, so they can wake me up... and tell me that he passed away. I had tickets to see him in London. I cried and didn't eat food for 2 days. It still hurts so much. The entire world lost so much. Rest in peace, ANGEL!

I didn't realise she had been still living. I think of her in Kismet with Howard Keel.

Clive Davis was very kind, to me, and supportive and generous with his praise of me, during the journey of launching I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY into cinema history.

What a legacy he leaves behind.

Rest in peace, Mr. DAVIS.❤️

I had to look up the name of the series but I have very fond memories of watching her and Geoffrey Palmer in Executive Stress. She seemed very elegant.
