Jan Hooks died today at the age of 57. The actress and comedian rose to fame on "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) as Ivana Trump, Tammy Faye Bakker, Sinead O'Connor, and as part of the lounge-singing Sweeney Sisters. The cause of death has not yet been revealed, but it is rumored that she was battling a serious but unnamed disease.

According to CNN, Hooks was on SNL from 1986 to 1991. She left the show when offered a part on "Designing Women," where she played Carlene Dobber for two seasons. She also appeared on "30 Rock" and sometimes provided the voice of Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon, the wife of convenience store owner Apu on "The Simpsons."

Though she only had roles in a handful of movies, Hooks' appearance in "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" (1985) as an Alamo tour guide had many people share the scene on social media.

 One of Hooks' colleagues, Kevin Nealon, stated, "She was totally amazing as a sketch player... She so immersed herself in her characters, and her timing was amazing. She got it from some crazy stratosphere, and I was so attracted to that talent in her, and I don't think she ever knew how well respected and admired she was for her talent," conveying his admiration for Hooks. Nealon is said to have dated Hooks for a while.

Many other stars made sure to remember Hooks on social media after the news of her passing. Seth MacFarlane stated, "Jan Hooks still stands out as one of the funniest cast members on SNL. Very sorry to read about her passing," and Kristen Johnson commented, "I can't believe it. Jan Hooks appeared in many 3^rd Rock eps. We all truly loved her. I can't believe she's gone, another comedic genius."

Stand-up comedian and actor Patton Oswalt tweeted, "Not now, but sometime this weekend I'll think of Jan Hooks saying 'adobe' and I'll get tear-eyed. I know it. #RIPJanHooks."
