Really sorry to learn this. I had always hoped that she and Nora Dunn would come back to SNL and do a ‘Sweeney Sisters’ skit. Way too young. I’ll miss your comedy, Jan.

I very seldom watch SNL, not at all in the last several years, but I immediately recognized her from that Jim and Tammy Bakker skit which I did see. It was a classic. RIP

That’s sad to hear, she was a great supporting player. I liked her. She did “The Sweeney Sisters”, too.

Drag, man. A genuine talent, who, come to think of it, did not look at all well during her last performance.
Uncomfortably close to my own age, too.

Is your knowledge base the standard for all awareness?Do you mind if I plagiarize that line occasionally?
Consider it plagiarized. Fang-tastic...

She was definitely a star. She even won an Emmy award.

She also played Harry’s girlfreind in “3rd Rock from the Sun.” The Big Giant Head ( William Shatner ) got her pregnant.

May she rest in peace. I loved her in the Sweeney Sisters skit and all of the others she was in.

Thanks. Now that you note that, I remember. Maybe that’s the last time I was able to watch SNL. Long, long time ago.

I did not recognize her name either, but yep, saw that pic and understood who she was, saw it too. Still get a laugh when I think of that skit.

Havent watched SNL since around 1978.Then you have missed out on a lot. It's an old cliche that the best days of SNL were the Belushi/Aykroyd/Radner years but it's simply not true. While the 1975-79 period had some great moments, go back and watch those shows today and there were far more skits that fell flat.
There was a truly bad period in the early 1980s (when Lorne Michaels temporarily left the show for a few years) but since 1986, we have gotten almost three solid decades of great shows.

I liked her in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. She was unknown to me and had a small part. But in a movie filled with eccentric characters, she manages to steal the scene she is in. I am convinced this little part got her into Saturday Night Live
