Loni Anderson, Beloved Star of “WKRP in Cincinnati,” Dies at 79 After Long Illness
Loni Anderson, the golden-haired TV icon best known for playing Jennifer Marlowe on the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, has died at the age of 79. Her passing comes after a long battle with illness, just two days shy of her 80th birthday. She died peacefully in Los Angeles, surrounded by loved ones, according to her publicist.
Anderson became a household name in the late 1970s with her sharp, confident, and glamorous portrayal of Jennifer; the clever receptionist who stood out not just for her beauty, but for her brains. The role earned her two Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nods. It also made her one of the most recognizable faces on television at the time.
While WKRP was her breakthrough, Loni’s career stretched far beyond that one show. She took on a mix of roles in TV movies and series throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, including a standout performance as Thelma Todd in a true-crime drama. She also starred in comedies like Easy Street and had recurring roles in shows like Nurses.
