Loni Anderson, the beloved American actress known for her iconic role in "WKRP in Cincinnati," passed away on Sunday at a Los Angeles hospital following a prolonged illness. Anderson's death was confirmed by her publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan.
Born in 1945, Anderson began her career in the early 1970s with guest roles on various TV shows and minor film parts.

This role, which she played from 1978 to 1982, remains her most famous and iconic.
Anderson's performances in television and film extended beyond "WKRP in Cincinnati."

In addition to her acting career, Anderson was also noted for her high-profile marriage to actor Burt Reynolds in the 1980s, which garnered significant media attention.
