Me too! I loved Linda and that whole cast. Funny note is I watched the show more with my father. We used to laugh so hard at the comedic moments. Such sweet memories for me.
Growing up in the 70s my mom was a real life Alice. She was divorced and worked as a waitress so she could be home with me when I got home from school because my dad gave barely any emotional or financial support. Back then it was very tough for a divorced woman but my mom stood strong and honestly is the best thing to ever happen in my life. I loved the show Alice because there was love, humor and a strong mom doing her best. RIP Linda ❤
My mom was the same way, newly divorced. She got a job at Kip's Big Boy, but had to go out of state to train. Along with my sister, we had to stay with my stepfather and his new wife, who was very kind to us, when Mom had to work difficult hours, and not be with us. In a sense since your mother could be with you after school, you were lucky. Here's to our hardworking moms! Mine is 86 now.
I'm so glad you mentioned her on this show! I also took a notice of her talent as Det. Janice Wentworth. They were really fun episodes - IMDb says there was only 5 episodes. Loved that she got the part as Alice.
I had the great fortune of meeting Dear Linda and her lovely husband Steve in a restaurant in LA a few years ago. She was even more charismatic in person. She was an absolute star who shined so bright. She literally lit up a room. I am so grateful that our paths crossed. Oh Linda, I'm so sorry your gone.
God bless you Linda! I watched your TV show long ago, all the time! I loved your character and the way you talked! I was a loyal fan, you made me laugh when I was so young in the 1970s! Rest in peace dear friend we all loved you and will miss you 🙏♥️
It hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard of Linda Lavin's passing. Her classic television show, "Alice," was a part of my childhood. It was one of those shows my parents allowed me to watch as a kid. And it has remained one of my all-time favorites. RIP Linda Lavin.🕊
I have loved the beautiful Linda Lavin since my childhood via the show "Alice" with Vic Tayback. I am so privileged to have grown up in this idyllic period of time. Rest in peace Beautiful. You are loved and will be missed ❤💔
She really was a true entertainer! The Alice theme song was absolutely wonderful, I will miss her smile & her positive outlook for life. Thank you Linda Lavin, we will miss you dearly!
I saw Linda Lavin in Denver for her play "Tale of the Allergist's Wife" over 20 years ago. She was wonderful. I was looking forward to seeing her in the new Hulu sitcom with Nathan Lane "Mid-Century Modern". May she rest in peace and know that she brought much happiness to so many people.
I saw her in the Allergist's Wife too. Not the greatest play ever written, but Lavin knew how to make even the lamest lines land. She was a brilliant comic.
I didn’t know much about her career before “Alice”; but I rarely missed her tv show throughout its run. I would try to sing along with the theme song, hoping no one was listening to me croak out the melody while she sailed effortlessly through it. I loved the 🎼 “bu buh buh buh bu” 🎶 🎵 the most, too. My condolences to her friends & family.😢
Linda Lavin was such a bright light! Her brightness will glow forever! She will be missed... Rest In Heaven Linda 🙏🏼✨️🕊💐❤💐🕊✨️🙏🏼 Thank you MO..for this interview! It was fabulous! 🎉🎈🎉
Rest in peace, Linda I always enjoyed your show! Your husband has done you great justice what a nice guy! Of course he is because you were a wonderful human being!🙏🏻🙏🏻
I always liked Linda on TV and met her once after a concert. I spoke with her and she couldn't have been nicer and more personable. Rest in peace sweet lady...
Growing up in late 70's into early 80's the local station in Atlanta ran "Alice" reruns every morning Monday through Friday that theme song stuck in my head for years. Rip Linda {Alice} thanks for childhood memories .❤️
Loved her in Alice, of course. She was also a memorable narrator of the documentary Living in Utopia, which is excellent (and mentions my home neighborhood of Co-op City). So multi-talented and definitely held her own with original Company star, Beth Howland! Thanks, Mo.
I loved that show, they were all great. She was terrific in it. There was something special about it. We fans become attached to these stars and they become like family. Thank you Sunday Morning for this retrospective of Linda's career. Rest In Peace Linda
What a delightful interview. And I'm with Linda on the preferred ending to "There's a New Girl in Town." She was always excellent, even if the material was only meh; Ms. Lavin will be missed. RIP.
Came here to remember her. Grew up with that Alice TV Show as a boy till graduated HS in 85'. Knew of her singing background and really appreciate her voice more now than I did then. Loved the Last question about which ending she preferred. I too love the "bump, bump, bump, bump, bum....."
RIP ???, Sorry,...I didn't watch Alice, but I absolutely LOVE Linda in Barney Miller,...she brought something to the table, as did all of the cast and character actors in Barney Miller, but nobody brought as much as Linda,...my favorite episodes,...
RIP Linda Lavin! You are and were tv royalty in my eyes and opinion! Now go and sing with all your idols and with Gershwin. I'm watching some old "Alice" episodes and you make me laugh so thank you for that Ms Lavin....
Now I'm almost 50 and I watched a lot of great TV shows with my mom and Alice was one of my favorites . Im crying now watching this & i never met Linda Lavin but sad anyway. R.I.P.
A passionate lady who stuck up for herself on her own show. Dianne Ladd and Polly holiday dint get along but both bunted heads with the star of the show, not a bright thing to do . Saw her in Hollywood arms- Carol and cari Burnett broadway show. Linda gave a harrowing performance . Moved me greatly.
Wow, never knew she was a fellow Maineac. I wonder how I missed knowing that. I grew up in CA, but born there. I have probably have only known 3 people here, from Maine. One was a Sales/Marketing boss, Richard Harper. That was like 30 years ago. Sheesh. Where does the time go? RIP Linda Lavin. You earned it. 🙏❤💫🦋💥
such an iconic actress take this to heart, never know what is awaiting you. live everyday like its your last, thank goodness she had a good support system some do not. bless her and him and rip Linda look, she looked fine, you can be here today and gone tomorrow. pay attention.
She played a tough "cookie" female cop, in the TV show, Barney Miller, for a short while, too. RIP, dear Linda Lavin, she was wonderful in the sitcom Alice. ( wow, she just died, a couple of days ago)..Thanks for all the laughs.
I grew up watching Alice. I warched it with my mom, who also passed in 2024. Thank you, Linda Lavin for so many years of great entertainment.❤
Me too! I loved Linda and that whole cast. Funny note is I watched the show more with my father. We used to laugh so hard at the comedic moments. Such sweet memories for me.
Hard to believe they are nearly all gone now.
A wonderful performer. RIP Ms. Lavin.
She was a nasty nasty vengeful jealous woman.
The way she chased Polly Holiday out of the show was awful.
RIP Linda. You were great.
yea have another one cough cough
Thank you Linda and the entire cast of "Alice." May you all RIP. Together again.
Goodbye 2024.
POLLY HOLIDAY IS VERY MUCH ALIVE.
As are Diane Ladd and Celia Weston.
This was always one of my favorite interviews of Mo's. And I'm so glad he asked her about her preference on the ending of the theme song.

she pick him
There will never be another like this Classy Lady. Thanks, for the memories Linda....R.I.P.
I first became aware of this amazing actress from her appearances on Barney Miller. Then she blew me away with her performance on Alice.
Omg, Barney Miller…YES! I forgot about that 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I'm so glad you mentioned her on this show! I also took a notice of her talent as Det. Janice Wentworth. They were really fun episodes - IMDb says there was only 5 episodes. Loved that she got the part as Alice.
“We’ll see who gets pushed aside”. A scene from Barney Miller. Hilarious

RIP Linda. I wish I had known about your online concerts because I would’ve tuned in. I loved your voice and was always a fan from the start.
I didn’t know much about her career before “Alice”; but I rarely missed her tv show throughout its run. I would try to sing along with the theme song, hoping no one was listening to me croak out the melody while she sailed effortlessly through it. I loved the 🎼 “bu buh buh buh bu” 🎶 🎵 the most, too.

Wonderful woman; rest in peace Ms. Lavin!
Such a huge part of my TV entertainment experience while a young teenager! She was wonderful and will be missed!
RIP Linda…lovd ALICE!
Alice was a really cute show. So talented
A passionate lady who stuck up for herself on her own show. Dianne Ladd and Polly holiday dint get along but both bunted heads with the star of the show, not a bright thing to do . Saw her in Hollywood arms- Carol and cari Burnett broadway show. Linda gave a harrowing performance . Moved me greatly.
R.I.P. MS. Linda.
RIP Linda. 😢
Wow, never knew she was a fellow Maineac. I wonder how I missed knowing that. I grew up in CA, but born there. I have probably have only known 3 people here, from Maine. One was a Sales/Marketing boss, Richard Harper. That was like 30 years ago. Sheesh. Where does the time go? RIP Linda Lavin. You earned it. 🙏❤💫🦋💥
such an iconic actress take this to heart, never know what is awaiting you. live everyday like its your last, thank goodness she had a good support system some do not. bless her and him and rip Linda look, she looked fine, you can be here today and gone tomorrow. pay attention.
RIP Alice, aka Linda Lavin
She played a tough "cookie" female cop, in the TV show, Barney Miller, for a short while, too. RIP, dear Linda Lavin, she was wonderful in the sitcom Alice. ( wow, she just died, a couple of days ago)..Thanks for all the laughs.
🙏 Fly high Linda
I'd never seen this. Lovely. And I'm so glad Linda preferred the version of the Alice theme song that I also preferred.
Detective Janice Wentworth paved the way for every female cop thereafter, especially when she yelled into her purse.
RIP Linda thx for the laughs 😢
I Love Her......
