Maureen Arthur — an actress best known as a Broadway star and for her breakout role in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying — has died at the age of 88.
It's a sad reality that the older we get, the more likely we are to see the people who made our days a little brighter pass away. And when those people made a lot of memories for us with a special performance or a creation that meant a lot to us in our formative years, many of us find ourselves collectively missing them together.
It's also unfortunate that we don't always know how much of an impact people made on the things we enjoy until they're gone. Because while we might have remembered them before, we may not have fully appreciated their talents until we saw a reason to give them a closer look.
But when someone has a career as long and respectable as Maureen Arthur, they leave behind a wealth of material to do that with.
