Before becoming a star on TV, Suzanne Pleshette was pecked to death in Hitchcock's The Birds. She was most famously Bob's wife, but she also played Karen's mother (wonderful casting, given the contrast between her voice and that of Megan Mullally's character). She died yesterday evening in Los Angeles.

I remember her. I liked her. Always thought it was a shame that the most likable character got killed in "The Birds".
She was very beautiful and always a class act. She made some comedy western movies with James Garner also which have stood the test of time.
I was sad to hear this news.
Suzanne Pleshette was one of my best friends growing up. We both lived on West End Avenue in Manhattan and we attended P.S.9 (Public School 9) located on 82nd Sreet and Wesg End Avenue.
As a child she had a very generous spirit. She was liked by everyone in school because she had a wonderful personality and she was friend to all.
I have not seen Suzanne for years but I did go back stage to visit her when she replaced Anne Bancroft in THE MIRACLE WORKER on Broadway and she greated me by singing our old PS9 song.jk
May God bless her. David Meltzer
I'm from Puerto Rico. The first time I saw Suzanne on the big screen was in Rome Adventure. I remember it well because I was in 9th grade. There was a science fair being held at my school and while the judges were deliberating, a friend of mine and myself vanished from sight and went to the nearby were the movie was playing. It was so romantic with all that beautiful Italian scenery and music in the background... Troy Donahue was okay in his role but there was something special in Suzanne's acting that grabbed and hold your attention throughout. And when you looked into her eyes you could tell she was genuine and believable. Indeed, she had the stuff real actresses are made of. I was very sad to hear about her death, but glad that she left us a substantial body of work which will guarantee that she will live on.
