LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Suzanne Pleshette, the husky-voiced star best known for her role as Bob Newhart's sardonic wife on television's long-running "The Bob Newhart Show," has died at age 70.

Pleshette underwent chemotherapy for lung cancer in 2006.

I always wondered if she was a smoker or if her voice was naturally husky like it was...

I think the story about her and Tom Poston is terrific. RIP.

That really sucks. He was a great actor. I always admired how he picked the roles he played. He chose carefully instead of just doing whatever for the money. He'll be missed.

He did an interview a few weeks ago saying something to the affect that he couldnt sleep. I'm guessing it was unintentional.

Why is it that those who have to really work for a living can keep their feet on the ground and those who are given instant success have a hard time with the realities of life?

idle hands/minds?
