WASHINGTON — Actress Loni Anderson, who played Jennifer Marlowe on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati” and was once married to the late Burt Reynolds, died Sunday at the age of 79. Anderson's death came just two days before what would have been her 80th birthday.

Though Loni Anderson's talent on screen earned her mega success, her life behind the scenes got just as much, if not more, attention.

Loni Anderson, the celebrated actress who died over the weekend, married Burt Reynolds after an on-set romance.
