A message from Annie’s family: (https://www.facebook.com/1127051411/posts/pfbid0ev7ScLWBxHR2XWpe7MTH6NnQtY1DTK4qEWACzHcJT1qYVXFJJgtwJcFvdR8J1M8l)

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share Annie has passed peacefully. She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of creative energy, whip smart humor, delight in her family, adoration for little dogs, burning hatred for Trump, passion for second-hand thrifting, and love for a good story. We are bereft without her. We loved her so so much, as did all who met her.

She was a force. And it is unimaginable to think about life without her in it. But as she said, “I’m always with you.” And she’s right. The memories, artwork, belly laughter, handmade jewelry, oil paintings, sculptures, costumes, and all around joie de vivre live on.

Raise a margarita in her honor.

She is survived by beloved friends and family including her husband of 55 years Christopher Barrett, darling daughter Tay Barrett, daughter-in-law, Hilary Flynn, sister Sarabeth Schedeen, niece Minnie Land, brother Roland “Tony” Schedeen, sister in-law Julieann Schedeen, and her beloved rescue dogs Roo and Red.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to one of Annie’s favorite causes, Habitat for Humanity.

We all love you, Annie.

That is impressive a Hollywood marriage lasted 55 years.

That is really heartbreaking! Now the daughter Andrea and Paul who voiced Alf are the only ones left, rest in peace Anne and thank you for the entertainment!

This is very sad......

I just saw that Anne passed away one day after Benji Gregory died, that is really ironic

Anne also had a recurring role as a Rampart Hospital nurse on "Emergency!"

Vulturous, despicable clickbait. Gross.

TMC, you don’t have to share every article and video you encounter on the internet. It’s okay if you let a few slip through the cracks.

And not for nothing, but that’s in no way a “last photo.” It’s several years old. I’ve been following her on Facebook since 2019 and that’s been her profile photo the whole time.

Stop promoting harmful clickfarms.
