Suzanne Pleshette takes on chemotherapy for lung cancer

Suzanne Pleshette's agent reported on Friday that the actress is
currently undergoing treatment for lung cancer. The cancer was
discovered during a routine X-ray and was no bigger than a grain of
sand. Pleshette apparently feels very lucky and is in great spirits as
she receives outpatient chemotherapy at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center --
where the cancer was diagnosed.

Pleshette, 69, is best known for her 1970s role as wife Emily on The
Bob Newhart Show. Her other television credits include 8 Simple Rules
and Will & Grace. She has appeared in the films If It's Tuesday This
Must Be Belgium and Oh God! Book II. And her raspy voice has been
featured on several animated films.

Pleshette has been married to Tom Poston, 84, since 2001. Poston
costarred with Pleshette on The Bob Newhart Show.
