The story goes that when Jean Stapleton told Normal Lear she was leaving “All in the Family” and her character was to pass away in the story line, Lear spoke of Edith as though she were a real person. WIkipedia picks up the story from there: When Stapleton reminded him that Edith was a fictional character, Lear took a long pause, causing Stapleton to think she had hurt him. Finally, Lear said, “To me, she isn’t.”(Wikipedia page, Edith Bunker)
