Hollywood actress Loni Anderson rose to fame for her role as the sexy yet smart receptionist in the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati. Well-known for her age-defying looks, she was considered Hollywood’s ultimate ageless beauty. She passed away on July 28 (US time) at a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 79. According to a statement from her family, she passed after a long illness, just two days short of her 80th birthday. The family released a statement through a publicist: “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother.”
Loni skyrocketed to fame between 1978 and 1982 as the star of the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. Her character, Jennifer Marlowe, was known for her blonde hair, high heels, and extraordinary efficiency—effortlessly managing the office, solving complex issues with her charm, and playing a crucial role in the radio station’s smooth operation. This role earned her two Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nominations.
Loni married four times in her life, her most famous marriage being to tough-guy actor Burt Reynolds. Her fourth husband was Bob Flick, a member of the folk group The Brothers Four. The two married in 2008 and spent their later years together.
