Jean Stapleton(Edith Bunker) dies
Actress Jean Stapleton, known as Edith Bunker on 'All in the Family,' dies

By Greg Botelho, CNN
updated 6:01 PM EDT, Sat June 1, 2013

Jean Stapleton, who played alongside Carroll O'Connor in the groundbreaking 1970s TV sitcom "All in the Family," died at age 90 on Saturday, June 1. "

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • NEW: "In her own words, she was an 'actress,' not a celebrity," her children say
  • Jean Stapleton won 3 Emmy awards for her role as Edith Bunker
  • She died "peacefully" at her New York City home, her family says
  • Stapleton was a stage actress who went on to star in television


(CNN) -- Actress Jean Stapleton, best known for her role as Archie Bunker's wife in the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom "All in the Family," has died, her son said Saturday.
She was 90 years old.
Her son John Putch told CNN about her passing and, along with his sister Pamela Putch, wrote an obituary saying that she "passed away peacefully of natural causes" on Friday at her New York City home "surrounded by friends and her immediate family."

The daughter of an opera singer and businessman, Stapleton grew up on Long Island and in New York City. It was there during the early 1940s, while working as a typist for the British War Ministry Office, that she began her career in theater.

Stapleton made it to Broadway in the production "In the Summer House" in 1953, the same year of her television debut on the daytime drama "Woman With a Past." Other big stage roles followed, including in "Bells Are Ringing" and "Damn Yankees."

She also did more and more television,including appearances on shows such as "Philco TV Playhouse" and "Dr. Kildare."

Her breakout role was as Edith Bunker, the kindhearted foil to husband Archie, played by the late Carroll O'Connor.

"All in the Family" was one of television's most popular shows as it broke ground while tackling a host of social issues such as racism, sexuality, life and death. Edith Bunker, played by Stapleton, for instance revealed that she had breast cancer on the show, a rare occurrence at the time.
"I just loved doing it from the very beginning," Stapleton told CNN in 2001, shortly after O'Connor's death.

She won three Emmy awards -- in 1971, 1972 and 1978, in addition to five other nominations in which he she fell short -- for her performance in that Norman Lear-helmed show.

Stapleton kept busy after the show went off in the air in 1979 and kept on racking up more accomplishments. Those include Emmy nominations in 1982 for playing Eleanor Roosevelt in the CBS miniseries "Eleanor, First Lady of the World" and in 1995 as Aunt Vivian in a guest spot on the ABC comedy "Grace Under Fire."

"RIP Jean Stapleton," tweeted fellow TV comedy veteran Roseanne Barr, "a great actor whose range was unbelievable, deep and majestic."

In 2002 she was chosen for the Television Academy Hall of Fame, joining the likes of Tim Conway and Bob Mackie in that organization's 15th induction class.

Her most recent on-screen credits, according to the IMDB website, are from 2001 when she appeared in the film "Pursuit of Happiness" and the TV movie "Like Mother Like Son: The Strange Story of Sante and Kenny Klimes" along with Mary Tyler Moore.

And after "All in the Family," she continued working in theater, including a nationwide tour as Roosevelt in her one-woman show "Eleanor: Her Secret Journey," the Broadway revival of "Arsenic and Lace" and Obie Award performances in Harold Pinter's "Mountain Language" and "The Birthday Party." Her final stage appearance was in "The Carpetbagger's Children" a few blocks from her home in New York, to which she returned permanently in 2002.

"In her own words, she was an 'actress,' not a celebrity," her children wrote. "The play always came first."

At Lionel Jefferson's engagement party when George Jefferson meets the new in laws to be and discovers one of them is Caucasian, Archie tells Edith:

"Stand by the door Edith, there's gonna be a race riot". To this day that line makes me laugh.

I just recently made the connection that Rob Reiner was the son on that show.

Late to the party. And I call myself an American.

I bet Archie killed her. That seems like the type of house where there was domestic violence going on.

She was a great actress and I'm sad at her passing. But I had to laugh at your comment. Anyone a fan of the show would get it.
