As confirmed by her death certificate, obtained by a foreign publication, veteran actor Loni Anderson, best known for playing Jennifer Marlowe, an empowered receptionist of a struggling radio station, on the CBS sitcom ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’, died of metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma at 79.
Per the National Organisation for Rare Disorders, uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that starts in the uterus and may ‘spread to other areas of the body, especially the lungs and liver, often causing life-threatening complications’.
Notably, Anderson’s longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan, confirmed the death of the twice-Emmy-nominated and thrice-Golden Globe-nominated actor on August 5, after a prolonged illness.
