Linda Lavin turns 79 today. Her first significant TV role was in the recurring role Det. Janice Wentworth on Barney Miller. After two seasons, she left the show to take the lead role in a sitcom about a widow with a young son who plans to move to California, but ends up in Phoenix after her car breaks down, and finds work as a waitress at a restaurant called Mel’s. She played the role of Alice Hyatt in Alice for a run of nine seasons, winning two Golden Globes for Best TV Actress–Musical or Comedy.

Lavin made a number of TV movies and a few feature films, including The Muppets Take Manhattan, but aside from Alice she is most notable as a stage actress. She made her Broadway debut in 1962 in the musical A Family Affair, and except for the years of Alice’s run, she never left for very long. She is a six time Tony nominee, winning Best Actress in a Play in 1987 for Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound.
