I loved Alice and Linda.
RIP, Linda. 😢🥀🥀🥀🥀
One of the funniest segments of Alice was when Tommy’s school was teaching sex education. Mel, Alice, Vera and Flo went to the school to view the videos being shown. Mel and Alice watched with concern, Vera had a confused look on her face, and Flo was smiling ear to ear chewing gum.
A great actress 🎭 Rest in peace Linda my condolences God be with the family ✝️ All Gods angels are in Heaven ✝️🕊️
RIP Ms. Lavin.
She brought my husband and I lots of love and laughter watching "Alice." She even managed to humanize grumpy ole Al!

"Alice" from Mel Diner in Phoenix, Arizona (?). Philip McKeon played her son; Philip's sister Nancy was "Jo" on "Facts of Life." (earlier, I wrote that it was Kristy McNichol; fact oops, that was wrong.)
Alice was one of the most enjoyable sitcoms from my childhood. R.I.P., Linda. 💓
Oh I loved the show Alice!! I couldn't wait to watch it. Mel was so mean but was hilarious. I was happy to see her in other shows and movies. Rest in peace Ms Lavin!!
🙏🏽
RIP Linda we❤ you
She was so classy. "Alice" is one of the all time best sitcoms.
Just saw her last night on an old The Good Wife. Good as always.
I remember that episode where the homosexual was trying to seduce Tommy…
