Susanne Pleshette

is dead at 70 from lung cancer (I think from lung cancer, she started chemotherapy in '06).

The articles I read don't really describe her as a person, but, overwhelmingly, as "throaty." The linked article talks about her husbands and Bob Newhart. Damn, I guess that's what happens when you hit the peak of your career in the '70s.

I hope she was cool. I guess she avoided the age of celeb hype. What? We don't know anything about her personal life except that she was married three times? I'm not sure what to do with myself. I wish that happened now. I might be a better person if I knew a little less about Britney Spears.
