Anne Schedeen, best known for playing Kate Tanner, the mother in the hit 1980s sitcom ALF, has died at the age of 77.
In this episode, I look back at her career, her memorable role as the patient and long-suffering mum in the Tanner family, and some of the stories that emerged over the years about the difficulties of making ALF behind the scenes. Despite becoming a television classic, the production was often described as stressful and technically challenging by members of the cast.
This episode is also useful for English listening practice, speaking practice, vocabulary development and clear spoken English. Listen for natural rhythm, pronunciation, sentence stress and the language used to discuss television, memory, celebrity news and classic popular culture.
