Mrs. Roper is my style icon

The late actors Norman Fell and Audra Lindley played Stanley and Helen Roper on “Three’s Company” in the 1970s. Lindley’s Mrs. Roper is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, including online tributes and in-person bar crawls toasting the caftan-clad icon. (AP)

Helen Roper is my style icon.

She’s from the 1970s silly television sitcom “Three’s Company.” Her wardrobe of long, flowy caftans — or kaftans— defines comfort and panache. Bright colors. Busy prints. Mrs. Roper glided into any room with confidence and flair. An over-the-top orange wig and chunky jewelry completed her look.
