Sad news today in the Scooby-Doo universe with the passing of Heather North, aka Daphne Blake. For 33 years she rocked the hands on hips in a purple dress look, adding class and sass to every episode she was in. We couldn't have made it through the 1980s episodes without you pic.twitter.com/s3Fjv0Zxx8
