She's just as pretty in the latter photo without looking "plastic". Loved her in WKRP.

She couldn't seem to keep that "Fame and fortune" thing going to well. I liked her. To bad actors can't write their own parts. This was a surprise to me. I get her and Dolly Parton mixed up sometimes. They both have this larger than life persona. I don't believe Dolly had a thing for Burt Reynolds, did she?

Rest in peace Loni Anderson.

I kind of enjoyed WKRP. Not as block buster, but as an easy half hour. She had a good life, I think.

She was a charming woman and a class act. Behind that glamorous face was a dignified, intelligent, and sweet lady.

I liked and laughed at the show WKRP. Loni Anderson was so pretty and made the show that much better with her acting.

May her memory be a good one with her family and fans.

Rest peacefully Loni.

Her role was unusual. Ordinarily you would have expected her to be cast in something like Bay Watch, but on WKRP, she was a glamour queen surrounded by mostly nerds. I kept thinking, "Couldn't she find a better job?"
