NEW YORK (AP) — Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Jan Hooks has died.
The 57-year-old Hooks died Thursday in New York, according to The New York Times. The newspaper confirmed the death through Hooks’ agent, Lisa Lieberman.
The comic actress was a versatile performer whose “SNL” impressions ranged from Nancy Reagan to Sinead O’Connor.
Hooks, a Decatur, Ga., native, moved into prime-time in 1991 as a cast member on the sitcom “Designing Women.” She later did an Emmy Award-nominated turn on “3rd Rock from the Sun.”
Hooks also appeared in 1992’s “Batman Returns” and voiced convenience store owner Apu’s wife on “The Simpsons” for several years.
