'Laugh-In' star Judy Carne dies at 76
LONDON — Judy Carne, a star of the U.S. comedy show “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In,” has died in a British hospital. She was 76.
She was famous for popularizing the “Sock it to Me” phrase on the hit TV show that ran from 1967 to 1973.
Carne shot to fame with the rise of “Martin’s Laugh-In,” a smash hit on NBC that often featured her doused in water, taking pratfalls or suffering other humiliations.
The show represented a major network’s take on “flower power,” and Carne’s persona emphasized her wacky humor and pixie looks.
