Ginnie Newhart, the wife of famed comedian Bob Newhart who came up with the innovative idea for how to conclude his Vermont-based sitcom by combining with it with his earlier Chicago-based show, has died. She was 82.
She died Sunday at their home in Century City after a long illness, publicist Jerry Digney told The Hollywood Reporter. She and Bob recently celebrated their 60-year wedding anniversary.
Bob Newhart starred for six seasons (1972-78) as clinical psychologist Bob Hartley on CBS’ The Bob Newhart Show opposite Suzanne Pleshette as his wife, then played Vermont innkeeper Dick Loudon on CBS’ Newhart for another eight seasons (1982-90), when his wife was played by Mary Frann.
In one of the most admired series finales in TV history, Newhart winds up with a cheeky scene in which Dick wakes up in the middle of the night as Bob Hartley — he’s in bed with Pleshette in...

And that's exactly what Aarp did last week when it brought the two men, best friends for nearly 50 years, together for the first time on stage at the organization's 2013 Life@50+ National Event & Expo in Las Vegas.
"If Hitler had lived, Bob would have chatted him up... that's how polite Bob is," Rickles quipped before a full house of Aarp members.
Dubbed "Don Rickles In Conversation With Bob Newhart," the pair's performance entertained thousands of people for close to an hour.
