told Entertainment Weekly.“We will always remember our dear Arleen for her immense generosity of spirit,” the family said in a statement. “Talented, yes, and dogged, too, as evidenced by her tenacious, decades-long fight with a terrible disease.”“But more than that, she was a loving presence in the lives of her two boys, Eli and Owen; her mother, Joyce; her brothers, Robert and Arthur; and the countless other children, old and young, whom she took under her beautiful wing over the years.”The statement continued by saying that while her passing was sad, it was “a joyous one, too, knowing how many people today are summoning her memory and smiling.”Sorkin made her TV debut as an extra in “Saturday Night Live” in 1982 but her breakthrough role came in 1984 when she appeared as Calliope Jones Bradford on the popular soap opera, “Days of Our Lives.”The gig earned her two Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress and she went on to reprise the role several times.In 1992, Sorkin made her voice-acting debut as Harley Quinn in an episode of “Batman: The Animated Series.”According to showrunners, fans loved the wise-cracking henchwoman so much that Sorkin was invited to return for eight more episodes as well as being invited to voice the character in several video game adaptations.Since her debut, Harley Quinn has become a DC staple and has spawned two live-action films where she is portrayed by Oscar nominee Margot Robbie as well as getting her own animated series on Max where she is voiced by Kaley Cuoco.

‘Gotham Knights’ has been cancelled after one season
Gotham Knights has been cancelled after just one season.The DC Comics-based drama was one of three scripted CW series which were facing the axe along with Superman & Lois and All American: Homecoming, which have both been renewed.Despite being a “respectable ratings performer” since it was premiered in March, the show has now been cancelled, according to Deadline.It is believed that under different circumstances, the show could have made it to a second season but, with the business model of the CW changing under its new ownership, only a handful of existing scripted series could make the cut.Gotham Knights, which was written by the Batwoman trio of Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux, and Natalie Abrams, picked up in the aftermath of Bruce Wayne’s murder, with his rebellious adopted son Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan) forging an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies – Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), Harper Row (Fallon Smythe), and her brother Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara) when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader.A synopsis for the show, when it was first announced, added: “As the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names.
