Actress Anne Schedeen, renowned for her role as matriarch Kate Tanner on the late-1980s sitcom ALF, has passed away. She was 77 years old.
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share Annie has passed peacefully,” states a post on her official Facebook page. “She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of creative energy, whip smart humor, delight in her family, adoration for little dogs, burning hatred for Trump, passion for second-hand thrifting, and love for a good story. We are bereft without her. We loved her so so much, as did all who met her.”
“She was a force. And it is unimaginable to think about life without her in it. But as she said, ‘I’m always with you.’ And she’s right. The memories, artwork, belly laughter, handmade jewelry, oil paintings, sculptures, costumes, and all around joie de vivre live on. Raise a margarita in her honor.”
However, her cause of death was not revealed.
