I was deeply saddened to hear of Loni Anderson´s passing. As a kid, she was my very first crush, thanks to her unforgettable role as Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati. At the time, I was captivated by her beauty, but as I grew older, I realized what truly stood out - her portrayal of a woman who was confident, intelligent, and in full control of her own narrative. That early impression helped shape my lifelong appreciation for strong, smart women who are always a lady. Thank you, Loni, for the charm, wit, and inspiration you brought into my life and the lives of so many others. You will be dearly missed.

As a classmate of Loni´s I am so sorry to hear of her passing.
She was such a Beautiful woman inside and out. She always remained
Caring, loving and kind to everyone.
I had the opportunity to do an interview with Pat Miles approximately
15+ years ago with Diana Horvath. We were asked again last week
To do an interview. It was sad this time knowing we would not see
Her again or be able to spend time with her.
My heart goes out to her family. May the know she is at peace.

We lived near you and Burt in Jupiter FL. The same day you and Burt adopted Quentin, I gave birth to my son, Billy, now age 38.
Flying across our former croquet court, Burt used to tip his helecopter back and forth over us as he flew toward your former home nearby. I pray your son is doing well. God bless you in heaven! Linda formerly "Huebner", now "Morris" in Colorado. My late husband passed away suddenly some years ago. I have been married again for 25 years. Billy lives with us and works for FedEx.
Bless you in heaven and all of your family, including your son.
