Linda Lavin died Sunday at the age of 87.

She died unexpectedly due to complications from recently discovered lung cancer, her PR representative told Deadline.

Best known for her role in the 1976 sitcom “Alice,” Lavin has been active this month, promoting her the Netflix series “No Good Deed” and filming the upcoming Hulu comedy series “Mid-Century Modern.”

Lavin won a Tony for her performance in the 1986 play “Broadway Bound” and earned six nominations over her career.

After a recurring role on the ABC sitcom “Barney Miller” from 1975-1976, she landed the title role of a roadside diner waitress and widowed young mother in the 1976 comedy series “Alice,” which ran on CBS for nine seasons and 202 episodes.

Hulu and 20th Television, the studio behind “Mid-Century Modern,” issued a joint statement following Lavin’s death.

“Our deepest and heartfelt condolences go to Linda Lavin’s family and loved ones,” the companies said, per Deadline. “She was a legend in our industry, bringing her tremendous talent to audiences for over seven decades. She will be forever missed by her ‘Mid-Century Modern’ family, as we mourn this incredible loss together.”
