Sad news to all Dukes Fans. John has reported on his twitter account that Peggy Rea, the wonderful lady who brought Lulu Coltrane Hogg to our screens has sadly passed away this week

'Dukes fans out there mourn the passing of the delightful Peggy Raye this week. Lulu Hogg made millions smile. She's in a better place. John'

I'm sure we all send out condelences to her family and those friends that were closest to her.

Very sad news. I trust the source, but the announcement doesn't seem to have hit the usual sites yet. My thoughts are with her friends and family.

If you are on twitter, John's name on there is therealtrueshi®t

Take out the r in brackets for his name LOL

It is true. John verified it in an email to me.

Poor Lulu.

She was a beautiful lady and I'll miss her dearly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

This is a great loss to all of us as well. My condolances to all her fans here at our HazzardNet family.

Thanks for the links Daney. I noticed that IMDb had finally caught up with the news last night, you can check out Peggy's acting credits here.

She was a terrific actress and though she had a recurring role on the Dukes, she had a very impressive resume. I have often said people underestimate what good actors the cast of Dukes was. The older characters had an impressive resume before the Dukes and then consider the success John has had in television since the Dukes and music and the success Tom has had on Broadway and music, serves all the proof you need.

Here is where you can go and sign the guestbook leaveing your condolences for her family and friends. Hope this helps for she will be dearly missed by us all.

Although i never personally knew Ms Rea I feel like one of my family has died.

R.I.P Miss Lulu

yeah miss her so well.. rest peace

Two months late on posting my condolescences, but better late than never, I guess. Didn't really know she had passed as I never really check any news sites.

She was a wonderful actress and LuLu was a personal favorite of mine, simply because she was the only thing close to having my grandmother alive; even though she was on t.v. Miss Rea looked and even had mannerisms mimicking that of my grandmother, which made it heart-warming for me to watch her.

My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
