Loni Anderson Dead at 79

Loni Anderson, who starred on “WKRP in Cincinnati” and was once married to the late Burt Reynolds, is dead.

The actress died Sunday at a Los Angeles hospital following what her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan, told the AP was a “prolonged” illness. The official cause of death is unclear.

In a statement to the AP, Loni’s family says … “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother.”

Loni played the sexy and smart receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on “WKRP In Cincinnati” … a well-known TV show back in the late 70s and early 80s about a struggling Ohio radio station.

She was married to Burt for 5 years before a nasty divorce that officially ended in 1993 when Burt agreed to pay Loni $234,794.13. They got hitched after starring together in the 1983 comedy flick, “Stroker Ace.”

Loni also had a role in “A Night at The Roxbury” as Barbara Butabi, the mother of two dimwitted brothers played by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan.

She was 79 … and her death comes just days before what would have been her 80th birthday.

RIP
