Liz Sheridan, the beloved 'Seinfield' actress, has died at the age of 93.
Liz Sheridan, the actress who played Jerry Seinfeld's mom on the hit comedy Seinfeld and has a storied career both on-stage and on-screen, has died at the age of 93 according to her representative and good friend Amanda Hendon. She reportedly passed away in her sleep due to natural causes not long after celebrating her birthday. She leaves behind a daughter and a son-in-law.
Sheridan's work on-screen spans an absurd number of appearances, ranging all the way back to a 1977 appearance on the hit crime drama Kojak. While her work is varied, including plenty of dramas like St. Elsewhere and Sins of the Father, she could be spotted in an incredible amount of 80s and 90s sitcoms, including the Three's Company spinoff Three's a Crowd, Newhart, One Day at a Time, and Archie Bunker's Place.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The most love she received on television though was for her time spent as Seinfeld's mother Helen. As a recurring member of the Seinfeld cast, she regularly showed up to dote on and protect her darling Jerry, all with her signature catchphrase "How could anyone not like him?" She is as overprotective as they come, spying on Jerry's phone calls with his father and incredulous at the fact that anyone would be out to get him.
Her final roles were marked by appearances in the Seth McFarlane comedy American Dad! and Trim, though she got one last chance to rub elbows with older stars in 2009's Play the Game. There, she ruffled a few feathers with her performance that saw her character having relations with Andy Griffith's main character Grandpa Joe. She hadn't appeared on-screen since 2010.
