Loni Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a “prolonged" illness, her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan, said in a statement to The Associated Press.

Anderson reprised the role on The New WKRP in Cincinnati in 1991. She went on to star in The Jayne Mansfield Story, Stroker Ace, A Night at the Roxbury, and Melrose Place, to name a few.
