Christine Baranski as Dr. Beverly Hofstadter
65 year old Christine Baranski is a well known stage and screen actress. One with a Tony award to her long list of achievements. Up until season eight, thanks to Sheldon butting in, we only knew Dr. Beverly as Leonard’s insanely narcissistic, unloving, and overly analytical mama.
The 15 time Emmy nominee has appeared on The Good Wife, Addams Family Values, Cruel Intentions, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Chicago, and so much more.
Carol Ann Susi as Debbie Wolowitz
It’s true, we never actually saw the face of Debbie Wolowizt but we knew her as Howard’s completely overbearing Jewish mother. With her loud, New Jersey accent, Debbie was a loved character on The Big Bang Theory.
Most tragically at the age of 62, in 2017, Carol Ann Susi passed away from cancer. The show’s producers wrote a deeply heartwarming message after her passing, “Mrs. Wolowitz, every time you spoke, we laughed. You’re in our hearts forever.”
