| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | There's nothing like humor to burst what seems to be an enormous problem. |
| 2 | [on her most famous character, Edith] She is not the typical American housewife. At least, I *hope* she's not the typical American housewife. What Edith represents is the housewife who is still in bondage to the male figure, very submissive and restricted to the home. She is very naive, and she kind of thinks through a mist, and she lacks the education to expand her world. I would hope that most housewives are not like that. [But] I view her as a true and honest reflection of a woman who is part of a family like the Bunkers. She has her good points--she is very human, very honest, very compassionate, very intuitive, and in most situations she says the truth and pricks Archie's inflated ego. |
| 3 | [on being identified with Edith] The first time I was on [the TV quiz show] "Hollywood Squares", I didn't get one question until the end. I assumed it was because they thought I was a dingbat. |
| # | Fact |

| 4 | Her first Broadway appearance following her departure from long-term TV series hits ("All in the Family" and "Archie Bunker's Place") was the comedy "Arsenic and Old Lace," alongside another actress (Polly Holliday) who was also trying to get some distance from her own long series of TV hits ("Alice" and "Flo"). Interestingly, Holliday was later replaced by Marion Ross in the "Arsenic" role. Ross also was aiming for her first Broadway appearance following a long TV run in "Happy Days.". |
| 5 | Was a staunch liberal Democrat and womens rights activist. |
| 6 | In 1977 she was one the commissioners who helped put together the National Women's Conference in Houston, a gathering of 2000 delegates from every U.S. state--part of International Women's Year--to assist in the formulation of national policy on women's issues. |
| 7 | Cousin of Betty Jane Watson. |
| 8 | Portrayed "Sister Miller" in the stage version of 'Damn Yankees!' and reprised her role in the movie Damn Yankees! (1958). |
| 9 | Received an honorary degree from Wilson College and has a scholarship named after her. |
| 10 | Best remembered by the public for her role as "Edith Bunker" on the TV series All in the Family (1971). |

In the episode, while on the witness stand, she is asked to point out the murderer. The actor playing the murderer was another unknown named Carroll O'Connor, who later starred with her in All in the Family (1971). |
