RIP Anne Meara

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Sun May 24, 2015 2:46 pm

Anne Meara, the Emmy- and Tony-nominated comedian long paired personally and professionally with Jerry Stiller and the mother of actor-director Ben Stiller, died Saturday, her husband and son told the Associated Press. She was 85.

This makes me sad. Their comedic dialogues based on the courtship of the Catholic Meara and the Jewish Stiller were both funny and poignant at the same time. They were just so great together, and obviously very much in love.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I can't believe she made it to 86. I remember seeing her on a sitcom in the 70s smoking a cigarette, and googling indicates she was trying to quit in 2006.

I guess I'm just jealous. I would like for Mom t have lived to 86 instead of 68.
