Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In star Ruth Buzzi died on Thursday (May 1). She was 88.

As stated in a May 2 post on her Facebook page, Buzzi died “peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas,” and “had been in hospice care for several years due to Alzheimer’s disease.” TheWrap reports she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2012.

Her husband, Kent Perkins, had used her Facebook account in 2022 to announce she had experienced “devastating strokes” that had “rendered her bedridden and incapacitated” at that time, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Buzzi was most renowned for her performances on Laugh-In, participating in every episode of the show throughout its six-season run, as per Deadline. The sketch comedy program featured Buzzi in multiple roles, such as Gladys Ormphby, Doris Swizzle, and Busy Buzzi. She also portrayed Gladys in two episodes of The Dean Martin Show during the 70s. Her involvement in Laugh-In brought her a Golden Globe and two Emmy nominations, per the Associated Press. The outlet reports that she also displayed her comedic talent on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.

Prior to this gig, she appeared on TV in The Garry Moore Show and The Entertainers, as well as in Sweet Charity on Broadway, per The Hollywood Reporter.

She also found work on Sesame Street, appearing in 86 episodes in addition to series specials. Among Buzzi’s long list of TV cameos were Alice, Days of Our Lives, The Love Boat, Saved by the Bell, 7th Heaven, and Passions.

In addition to appearing on-screen, she also earned a slew of voice credits over the course of her career in both TV and film, including Linus the Lionhearted, The Rescuers (1977), Paw Paws, The Beranstain Bears, Pound Puppies, The Smurfs, The Addams Family, and The Pink Panther.

Buzzi, earned her most recent acting credit in John Schneider‘s 2021 drama One Month Out, grew up in Connecticut, but was born on July 24, 1932 in Westerly, RI.

Nancy Sinatra, daughter of the late Frank Sinatra, praised Buzzi as a “comedic genius” in a tribute on X on Friday.

“Working alongside her on Laugh-In was the most fun I ever had working,” she wrote. “I treasured her friendship and I am heartbroken to wake up to the news that she is gone. I love you, Ruthie. Godspeed, old friend. Sending condolences to her husband Kent and to all who loved her. Remembering happy times with Ruthie, as well as @goldiehawn, Teresa Graves, and Joanne Worley on Laugh-In.”
