Norman Lear never had to question whether or not he and his wife, Lyn Lear, would be together forever. The Good Times producer and the Fantastic Fungi creator had been living a life of bliss for three-plus decades before his death at age 101 in December 2023.

“I love the way she loves me!” the late Hollywood star exclusively shared with Closer in January 2019. “I’m just one selfish cat!”

Norman and Lyn were together since the mid-1980s after she approached him while out and about one day. According to The New York Times, Lyn sought help from the All in the Family writer when she was doing a thesis for her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. The lovebirds hit it off, and by 1987, they tied the knot.
