Lear, one of the most influential people in television, died at his Los Angeles home of natural causes, «surrounded by his family as we told stories and sang songs until the very end,» the family said on Facebook on Wednesday. Lear, who won six Emmy Awards for his work in television, was known for his campaigning for liberal causes, including voting rights, and worked well into his 90s. In addition to 'All in the Family' and 'Maude,' Lear dominated American TV screens in the 1970s and '80s with the situation comedies 'Sanford and Son,' 'The Jeffersons,' and the soap opera spoof'Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.'
