Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker the dingbat.........

Dingbat (Noun): 
The most common phrase Archie called his wife Edith. Often used in derogatory or uplifting verbal statements.

Meaning:  
A Dingbat is an empty-headed or silly person.

Use in a Sentence:
Jean Stapleton was glad to move on from her role as the dingbat!

Long before she became America's favorite Dingbat, Archie Bunker's browbeaten wife Edith on All in the Family, Jean Stapleton was a versatile, respected actresses on Broadway and in films. As Stapleton said, "When I walked away from the show in 1980, I never looked back. The show was fun, but it was time to go. I was getting stereotyped as Edith Bunker. When you're an actress, you're supposed to drop your role when you walk out the stage door or when you leave the studio at night. But with Edith. the role was so loved by the public that I finally realized if I went on with it much longer, I'd be buried in that role."
