Not sure what to say?

She was a joy and a delight to watch.

Truly the most beautiful woman on every show or movie she ever appeared on.

She was so beautiful in the Rome Adventure!

She'll be missed. She was pretty & witty.

Suzanne Pleshette was an extraordinary actress who spoke her lines from the heart... I recall her convincing performances in "Rome Adventure" & in "The Fugitive" TV show...as well as her incomparable stint as Bob Newhart´s wife on his outstanding TV series. She defined the epitome of acting by not acting, but by becoming each diverse character. Thanks for illuminating the screen with such effervescence & charm, Suzanne! No doubt, you are dazzling the angels in Heaven with your stellar...

I always loved seeing your beautiful face in movies, and I really wish I could have met you. Rest in Heaven, Suzanne.
