We are heartbroken to hear that the beloved actress Anne Schedeen has passed away at the age of 77. Best known as the wonderful mom, Kate Tanner, on the classic 80s sitcom ALF, she brought so much laughter into our living rooms. She also made memorable appearances on Three's Company and Marcus Welby, M.D.

Thank you for the beautiful memories, Annie. You will be deeply missed. Which of her classic roles was your favorite? 👇
