LOS ANGELES — Actress and comedian Anne Meara has died. She was 85.

Her husband, Jerry Stiller, and son Ben Stiller say Meara died Saturday. No other details were provided.

I remember seeing Stiller and Meara appear on various TV shows during the 60's and 70's. They were a good team, always funny together. Sad to learn Anne has passed away. Rest in peace.

Crap! I thought she and Jerry Stiller would've been perfect as the Chanticleer parents for a remake of "You're a Big Boy Now!"
