My Take
I'm an unapologetic admirer of golden-age television actresses, and Suzanne Pleshette is near the top of that list. That husky voice and razor-sharp delivery made Emily Hartley on The Bob Newhart Show feel impossibly modern, and the role still holds up. Three Emmy nominations, two Golden Globe nods, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame tell only part of it. What I value is the wit and intelligence she brought to every line. She passed in 2008, just shy of seventy, but in my mind she remains the smartest, warmest wife in the room, a true craftsperson of her era.
