Actress and comedian Anne Meara has died. She was 85.
Her husband, Jerry Stiller, and son Ben Stiller say Meara died Saturday.
The Stiller family released a statement on Sunday describing Jerry Stiller as Meara’s “husband and partner in life.”
“The two were married for 61 years and worked together almost as long,” the statement said.
The couple performed as Stiller & Meara on The Ed Sullivan Show and other programs in the 1960s. Meara also appeared in dozens of films and TV shows, including recurring roles on All My Children and The King of Queens.
Besides Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller, Meara is survived by her daughter, Amy, and several grandchildren.
The family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.
