- Actress Anne Schedeen, best known for her role as Kate Tanner on NBC's ALF, has died at age 77. The sitcom ran from 1986 to 1990.
- Born Luanne Ruth Schedeen on January 8, 1949, in Portland, Oregon, she began performing as a child at Portland Civic Theatre before relocating to New York City and Los Angeles to pursue acting professionally.
- Despite ALF's success, Schedeen later described the 1986-1990 production as a "technical nightmare." "If you had a scene with ALF, it took centuries. A 30-minute show took 20 to 25 hours to shoot," she said.
- Her family posted a tribute on Facebook on Sunday, saying she "passed peacefully" and describing her as a "force" who left behind an extraordinary legacy of creativity and humor.
- Schedeen is survived by her husband of 55 years, Christopher Barrett, and daughter Tay Barrett. The family requests donations to Habitat for Humanity in lieu of flowers.
