*more here*

ezs note:  Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker on CBS's 'All in the Family' , was truly a remarkable actress.  In one of the most memorable episodes, Edith befriends a transgender woman, only to have her friend murdered.  This causes a serious loss of faith in Edith. 

We have lost a dear friend and staunch ally.  Rest in peace, Jean.
