Edith Bunker disses Lindsay Lohan too!
Well, Rosie O’Donnell got all kinds of attention yesterday for saying what a lot of people were already thinking which is essentially this: ‘How the hell is Lindsay Lohan going to play Elizabeth Taylor?’
So guess who else weighed in with her thoughts today?
A TV icon who is closing in on 90, who is active on Twitter and who isn’t Betty White: Three-time Emmy winner Jean Stapleton.
She tweeted earlier today: “Agree with Rosie O’Donnell on the ‘Today’ show- Lindsay Lohan should not be portraying Liz Taylor. She needs some time away from Hollywood.”
I love hearing from Stapleton who, unlike Betty White, has retired from acting.

Really cool lady!
Photo still of her character Edith Bunker from ‘All in the the Family’ a ground breaking program!
Her character was like no other, now or since Stapleton won 3 Emmys just for Edith!
Kind of wondered where Jean has been,Edith Bunker passed away at the ripe old age of 52!
Fun post…loved the show as a kid!
Joe says:
It would be more newsworthy finding someone who thinks Lohan portraying Elizabeth Taylor is a good casting call. LOL
Lionhart says:
Are Jean & Maureen Stapleton sisters? I can’t remember…hehe.
Lohan will NEVER even come close to portraying Ms. Taylor. Who is Richard Burton in this wasted movie? Lohan is such a one-shot wonder.
EDITH BUNKER ROCKS!!
I am saddened that TRISTAN MacManus & Glads Knight were voted off DWTS. HOWEVER…Mark Ballas & Katherine Jenkins will win.
VOTE FOR TRISTAN MacMANUS FOR PRESIDENT!!

Her name is not Edith Bunker… its Jean Stapleton… and if you look at her Twitter account you have upset her by distorting her words. Leave this poor 89 year old woman out of your attempts to create fake Internet drama.

My Mother, Jean Stapleton does not have a twitter account and is not the person mentioned in the above article. Please do not believe that anything on the internet that appears to be from Jean Stapleton, the actress, is the truth.
