'Newhart' Actress Suzanne Pleshette Dead At 70
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Suzanne Pleshette, the beautiful, husky-voiced film and theater star best known for her role as Bob Newhart's sardonic wife on television's long-running "The Bob Newhart Show," has died, said her attorney Robert Finkelstein. She was 70.

Pleshette, who underwent chemotherapy for lung cancer in 2006, died of respiratory failure Saturday evening at her Los Angeles home, said Finkelstein, who is also a family friend.

"The Bob Newhart Show," a hit throughout its six-year run, starred comedian Newhart as a Chicago psychiatrist surrounded by eccentric patients. Pleshette provided the voice of reason.

3. Her husband was Tom Poston and he died just last year

it's a shame that anybody dies or loses someone.

4. She coined the term "breaking the fifth wall"

to describe the final episode of Newhart where the whole show was revealed to be a dream.

"breaking the fourth wall" is addressing the audience.

16. I didn't realize he was her husband.

Also I hadn't realized he had recently passed away. Anyway, R.I.P., Suzanne.

5. I just saw this......

I always considered her a great beauty, and wonderful foil for Bob Newhart. I always enjoyed her performances, especially in Hitchcock's 'The Birds'. I'm sorry for her passing....
