Peggy Rea, R. I. P.

Peggy Rea, 'Dukes of Hazzard' actress, dead at 89 in California of congestive heart failure: "Peggy Rea, who cheerfully and memorably played dozens of TV 'character roles' where she was called by endearing nicknames like 'Angel Food Cake,' died Saturday at her home in Toluca Lake, Calif., of congestive heart failure.

She was 89 and known to a wide range of television fans from her roles as Cousin Lulu on 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' Rose Burton on 'The Waltons,' Ivy Baker on 'Step By Step,' Jean Kelly in 'Grace Under Fire' and Cousin Bertha on 'All in the Family.'"
