Actress Jean Stapleton, famous for her role as Archie Bunker's wife Edith on the blockbuster hit "All in the Family," has passed away at the age of 90, she died of natural causes in New York city on friday, surrounded by loved ones.
The actress won three Emmys, U.S. TV's highest honor, for her role as Edith, the long-suffering, unsophisticated but understanding wife of the reactionary and often racist Archie Bunker, played by the late Carroll O'Connor, in the hit TV sitcom.
"All in the Family," inspired by the British program "Till Death Us Do Part," was a success with audiences even as it helped usher in a new era for U.S. television by confronting contentious topics such as racism, the Vietnam War and the feminist movement.
May her soul Rest in Peace.
