A 788-word obituary in the New York Times? Not bad for someone we haven't heard from since 1970




Judy Carne, ‘Sock It to Me’ Girl on ‘Laugh-In,’ Dies at 76.  (The New York Times, 9/7/2015)
Ms. Carne left “Laugh-In” in 1970. [The show ran until 1973.)  The sock-it-to-me label had become trying to live with, she said; people would douse her with water on the street. 
That year she starred in a Broadway revival of the musical “The Boy Friend,” but her life began spiraling out of control as a drug habit grew worse. She was arrested several times, and as a result she wasn’t being cast as readily as she had been, and her nightclub bookings dried up.
