The statement read, “We will always remember our dear Arleen for her immense generosity of spirit.” It further read, “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. It's a sad day for us, but a joyous one, too, knowing how many people today are summoning her memory and smiling.”

In Mark Hamill's Joker, Arleen was the original voice of Harley Quinn. The latter was going to appear in only one episode but the character became so successful that Margot Robbie played the character in DC Universe films.
