My Take
For my generation, Anne Schedeen is Kate Tanner, the mother who let an alien named ALF live in her house. Born in Portland in 1949 and passing in 2026, she anchored that chaotic sitcom as the level-headed straight woman, arguably the hardest and least flashy job on a comedy set. She also showed up in Paper Dolls, building a steady career rooted in television. The mother in a family comedy is the unsung foundation that lets everyone else be funny. Being featured in the year of her passing feels like quiet fate, and I want to honor her solid, generous body of work.
