While the late Loni Anderson, who passed on August 3, 2025, at the age of 79, was perhaps best known for her role in WKRP in Cincinnati, she was almost the star of a very different iconic 1970s sitcom. In the mid-’70s, as Three’s Company was coming together, Anderson auditioned for the role of Chrissy Snow. At the time, she had been steadily working in television with guest appearances, but she had not yet landed the role that would make her a household name.
