Ruth Buzzi dies at 88
Ruth Buzzi, a variety-show veteran most famous for her role on "Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In", has died. She was 88.

Buzzi died May 1 at her Texas home, her agent Michael Eisenstadt confirmed to USA TODAY in a May 2 statement.

"Her husband of almost 48 years, Kent Perkins expressed to me that she was making people laugh just a few days ago," Eisenstadt wrote. "I was Ruth's agent for over 30 years. She was warm, loving and funny. A great person who was considered a family member."

A female comic from an era when they were scarce, Buzzi "passed away peacefully," according to Eisenstadt, due to complications from Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative condition from which she suffered for 10 years.
