Speaking of Alice Pearce, the original Gladys Kravitz, the reason she needed to be replaced on the show was due to the unfortunate fact that she passed away from ovarian cancer in 1966. The actress was battling the disease before she was even given the role of Gladys. Sometime during the first seasons of the show, Alice had surgery for her cancer, but the diagnosis was terminal and there was no way to cure her. The saddest part was that her coworkers never knew about her illness, as she kept the entire ordeal very quiet.
