She really was a terrific actress. She was blessed to have gone after a long, successful life.

Stapleton was the daughter of a billboard advertising salesman and an opera singer.

I'd always heard that she could really sing. It takes a lot of talent and skill to deliberately sing off-key as she did in the pro-logue/epilogue of the All in the Family show.

She had been in Broadway musicals. She could sing all right.
