EspañolJEAN STAPLETON
'Jean Stapleton' (born 'Jeanne Murray' on January 19, 1923 in New York City) is an American actress of stage, television and film.
She is best known for her portrayal of Edith Baines-Bunker, the long-suffering, yet devoted wife of Archie Bunker (played by Carroll O'Connor) and mother of Gloria Bunker-Stivic (played by Sally Struthers), on the popular and groundbreaking 1970s situation comedy ''All in the Family.'' She was also seen in the All in the Family sequel ''Archie Bunker's Place'', but left that show after one season.
Stapleton's awards for ''All in the Family'' include three Emmys and three Golden Globes. Jean was offered a role in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but declined because it coincided with the production of the ''All in the Family'' pilot.
She began her New York career in ''American Gothic,'' an Off Broadway play. She has been featured on Broadway in several hit musicals, such as ''Damn Yankees'', ''Funny Girl,'' ''Bells Are Ringing'', and ''Juno.''
Stapleton has also acted in made-for-TV movies and feature films such as ''Klute,'' which starred Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland, the zany comedy ''Cold Turkey'' and the ''Faerie Tale Theatre'' episode ''Cinderella'' as the fairy godmother. She also had a recurring role on TV's
''Scarecrow and Mrs. King'' as a British spy. Stapleton appeared in the 1999 movie ''You've Got Mail'' as a close co-worker to whom Meg Ryan's character confides in.
In 2001, Stapleton could not attend the funeral of Carroll O'Connor, that Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers did, because of a prior commitment on the stage. [1]
Stapleton's husband, William H. Putch, with whom she had two children, (actor/writer/director John Putch and actress Pamela Putch), died in 1983. Her husband directed a summer stock theater, Totem Pole Playhouse, at Caledonia State Park in Pennsylvania for 30 years. Stapleton performed occasionally at the theatre with the resident company.
Stapleton is not related to the late actress Maureen Stapleton. Stapleton is Jean's mother's maiden name. Jean Stapleton has relatives in show business, including actress cousin Betty Jane Watson.
