Popular 1980s actor Loni Anderson of the hit TV series 'WKRP in Cincinnati' has died www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/03/l...
Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station’s empowered receptionist on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” died Sunday, just days before her 80th birthday.
RIP to a Talented actress. You never heard anybody say anything crappy about her. That means alot in Hollywood now-a-days.
She played many roles, even Jayne Mansfield, but she will always be Jennifer Marlowe to me. No one could have played that role but her. May she rest in peace with my gratitude for the laughs.
Very sad news. I'm sorry you've lost a friend.
She was so much fun on WKRP I hope she has a good life and a peaceful transition
You and she were both highly watchable. Miss those days.
Love and warm thoughts to her family, from Cincinnati. @mementomorty.bsky.social

❤️🩹
Very sad. She was funny!
Rest in Peace, Loni.
I met her several times & she was one of the nicest ladies. RIP 🕯️
That’s sad. 😢
"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"
So sorry for family loss - Beautiful Lady - great actress My condolences 🙏
May she RIP. WKRP was one of my favorite shows of all time.
🥺🙏RIP Lonnie
She had great comic timing and was so good to look at, as well! Amazing hair!
She was the sweetest lady I was working on a film with her we went late she bought the whole crew second meal! Just really a nice sweet lady. RIP
Sorry to hear this.
Oh, this hurts my heart 💔
💔
🥲
You can watch it on YouTube. Still great after all these years.
All. The. Wrong. People. Keep. Dying.
Aw, another icon.
How sad to hear. She was so beautiful. Probably the best thing I will remember her for was the prank she pulled on Co-star Lynda Carter during an interview where she acknowledged accomplishments such as completing astronaut training and other astounding feats with elegant composure.
Oh sad 😢
Rest In Peace & Power, Loni Anderson 🙏🕊️
My deepest condolences 💐
So sad. She was great to watch!
Ooohhh nooo! She was the face of an era! I’m so saddened by her passing💔
Aw, man … she played that role perfectly. RIP
Loni Anderson hated Donald Trump because he likes to fuck little girls
Rest in Peace. Far as I know, she was a good person.
She was brilliant and sweet. This is sad.
Rest in Peace, the world lost another beautiful soul. Gone but never forgotten.
She showed us that blondes don't have to play dumb. Prayers for all who loved her. 💔🙏
Her role on WKRP could have been written as the stereotypical bubble headed dumb blonde, but they made Jennifer extremely smart and sophisticated and a bit mysterious, someone who suffered no fools, yet sweet and sort of motherly to the WKRP crew and Loni played the role to perfection. 💞
Loved that show as a child. RIP Ms. Anderson.
Loved WKRP. She was awesome on the show.
WKRP was such an amazing show. The characters were great. It also highlighted Jennifer as the secretary who would have typically been seen as a dumb blonde, as the smartest character on the show.
😞
So sad
Sigh…
☹️
God rest her soul
💔 Her comedic timing was under appreciated because of her outstanding beauty.
WKRP was such a cool show. And Loni found fame and sometimes unwanted attention from it. But the good always comes with the bad, doesn't it ?
Like a shadow.
Now I gotta post a WKRP video. To say goodbye with. :(
💔
😢😢😢
😢 brilliant comedienne
💔
I sat at the next table to Loni Anderson in a tiny Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills. I, of course, didn't say anything to her (because one doesn't), but she asked me how I liked my fish. What a pleasant person.
What a loss. Loved her. WKRIP. :(
Her comedic timing was perfect on WKRP. 💔
Fun show. "I thought turkeys could fly."
😞
Wow, this has been a tough year for celebrities & the fans who love them. May she rest in peace. Love to her family & friends during this sad time.
Damn
🌹💔
Loved watching her. May she rest in peace.
God-bless her.
Sad!
Wow.
I'm sorry for your personal loss. She stayed in a hotel that I worked at 30 years ago or so and though I didn't get to see her, everyone who worked there who did said she was incredibly kind. And stunning. Like, take-your-breath-away stunning. Rest in Peace. She was a beloved American treasure.
I’m probably one of many men who had her in their bedroom on the wall in their teens
Grrr. She was gorgeous and fun look at, there's no question about that.
I just adored her character on WKRP and always envisioned her as the same smart, sassy woman in real life. Rest well.
That's sad news. Never met her personally but I always thought she was a positive, decent person. I think the same of Morgan Fairchild .
😢
Oh damn. What an amazing woman.
I recall her as a sweet lady…💔💔🕊️
☹️
😱🥺

So very saddened to hear. My condolences go out to her family at this time

What a sad loss! 💔 Last thing I saw her in was the Christmas movie : Ladies of the 80's. And I thought how wonderful she was! (In fact you all were!)
She was a MAGAt. #Noloss
Love her act with WKRP in Cincinnati . Her timing and charm a perfect balance. If only Ohio were still blue and loved Democracy.
RIP Loni Anderson, and thank you.

Was more of a Bailey Quarters guy but Loni was iconic….
She played the smartest character at that radio station. I'm never going to doubt that.

RIP Loni
I loved that show. She seemed like a really nice human being.

RIP Loni.
WKRP was my favorite show. I still have to watch an episode every once in awhile. I was lucky to have run into Howard Hessman and talk to him before he passed. Great guy. I hate seeing the people involved with that show die. I never met Jan Smithers or the others, but I’m glad they r still around.
So sad 😭
RIP
RIP💔 An American Icon.
💔😖💯
Classy lady.
Awww, crap. RIP, Loni. 😢
Oh no!! That’s super sad news! She was an amazing actress.

I worshipped Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP as a little girl. RIP Loni.
RIP.
Damn! 😔
Oh Loni I'm so sorry
I'm in shock because a few months ago I rewatched yours and her Christmas movie that was from 2023. I also watched her Documentary about Burt Reynolds. A beautiful woman that I expected to be around until she reached 100.
Indelible.
Oh, no. I loved her. Very sorry to hear she has died. She was so smart. I heard her debate Jerry Falwell about abortion and she destroyed him. And her comedic timing was fantastic. Such a beautiful, talented woman. My condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.
💔
May her amazing spirit forever rest in peace.
Damn.
RIP Loni
🙏🏼❣️

A Beautiful and talented Lady. I have many fond memories of her Movies and Television appearances. RIP

RIP Loni. You brought so much joy to everyone.
Let the Jennifer-Bailey "who is hotter" debate recommence. PS the answer has been always Bailey.
Awww, I'm so sorry, rest in peace, Loni!
Oh that's sad. She seemed a sweet lady
Rest in peace.

RIP!!
Just a couple days shy of her 80th birthday. So sad.
May she RIP. She was a self-proclaimed card carrying member of the civil rights party. It broke my heart to lose even one good soul on this earth.
Another blonde who was so smart and talented 😍😍💔💔
Sad to hear this. RIP Lonnie! 😪
😢
