When news broke of beloved actress Loni Anderson's death, tributes from fans and fellow celebrities alike began to pour in.
Anderson, who starred as a brassy blonde receptionist on the classic sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati," was remembered not only for her acting prowess but for her embodiment of a specific sense of Hollywood glamour. Part Faye Dunaway, part Farrah Fawcett, Anderson's dimples and sweeping bleached hair made her a prime candidate at the time for magazine covers.
She also became tabloid fodder with her high-profile marriage and subsequent messy divorce from Burt Reynolds.

Anderson, who died Sunday, Aug. 3, at 79, began dating Reynolds in 1982, after working together on the comedy film "Stroker Ace." Their on-set romance grew in tandem with a love story between their two characters: Anderson played a doe-eyed PR employee who caught the eye of Reynolds' stock-car racer.
