On Saturday afternoon, January 19, 2008, Suzanne Pleshette passed away from a 9 month battle with lung cancer. In remembering his former colleague and friend, Mr. Newhart said "She was a pro's pro"
"Although she was quite sick, she was one of those people you thought would go on forever. If anyone could beat cancer, it was Suzy -- she was such an indomitable spirit. She was a pro's pro and I know she was looking forward to getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on her birthday, Jan. 31." |
