Suzanne Pleshette passes at 70
I loved her on "The Bob Newhart Show" and thought it was brilliant the way "Newhart" put her and Bob in bed and had Bob dreaming that his second series was just a dream.
RIP, Miss Pleshette.

1. Aww, I love her too
I must have seen her the first time in The Birds. She was great.

5. I think she was a sort of feminist of her day
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 12:02 PM by Annces
She was her own person and an equal, which was great. I enjoyed her acting.

6. She was so beautiful,
One of my very first actress-crushes. Talented, smart, Newhart's perfect foil.

Goodnight Suzanne. I adore you still.

:loveya: :cry:

7. So sad
She and Tom Poston married a few years back after having known one another for many decades. He died last year at 85. She was taken by cancer far too young.

Besides the Newhart Show, I remember her best from the movie "Bye Bye Birdie" in which she played songwriter Dick Van Dyke's long-suffering girlfriend. I always enjoyed her performances.

RIP, Miss Pleshette.

10. She was also in Hitchcock's "The Birds"
A woman with a long and satisfying career in films and television.

Sad to hear this.

15. I looked up Tom Poston
He played a neurotic a lot. That is funny.

16. yes--talk about an odd couple
Tom was on Newhart's second show, and also on the one with Suzanne as a guest, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm sure they had a lot of laughs.
