Suzanne Pleshette, 70

Suzanne Pleshette died yesterday at age 70. While you may most fondly remember her from The Bob Newhart Show, my favorite Pleshette role will always be her part as the icy yet fragile Bodega Bay schoolteacher Annie, Rod Taylor's jilted lover in The Birds. I recall a quote from Pleshette saying, "I would have played one of the birds just to be in a Hitchcock film."

And who can forget Pleshette's famous cameo in the 1990 final episode of Newhart, where she reprised her role as Bob's wife, Emily, where it was revealed the entire four year run of the show had been a dream? That episode is still considered one of the most brilliant endings to a series in television history.
