Linda Lavin\u00a0<\/strong>is best known for her nine-season stint as the title character of CBS sitcom Alice<\/em>. According the The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>, Lavin died on Sunday<\/a>, December 29, at the age of 87, ending an impressive career in the entertainment industry. It was in the role of Alice that Linda would be best remembered for, and one that would spearhead other efforts and accomplishments \u2014 including her work in women\u2019s rights. \u201cI knew it behooved me to learn about single mothers and working women,\u201d she\u00a0said during an on-camera interview<\/a> with Steve Adubato<\/strong> in 2012. \u201cSo I went to Gloria Steinem<\/strong>, whom I had met briefly, and she hooked me up with writers and columnists and newspeople who were writing about working women.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI learned that Alice represented 80 percent of all the women who work in this country who were still struggling at 69 cents to the dollar that men were making for the same quality of work. Suddenly, I had a rhetoric, I had a commitment.\u201d But Linda Lavin wasn\u2019t the only performer in her family \u2014 it turns out she may have inherited at least some of her remarkable talent from her mother, Lucille Lavin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
