Television has lost one of its most familiar and comforting faces.
Anne Schedeen, best known for her role as Kate Tanner on the beloved NBC sitcom ALF, has passed away at the age of 77.
”Burning hatred for Trump..”
For millions of viewers, Schedeen was the heart of the Tanner family. As the patient, grounded, and endlessly understanding Kate Tanner, she helped bring warmth and authenticity to one of television’s most unusual households — a suburban family sharing their home with a wisecracking alien from Melmac.
Her performance made the extraordinary feel relatable and gave ALF much of its enduring charm.
