Christine Baranski as Dr. Beverly Hofstadter
Christine Baranski played the role of Leonard’s insanely narcissistic, unloving, and overly analytical mama Dr. Beverly Hofstadter. Whew! That sounded like a bit too much to handle! This 65-year-old is a well-known stage and screen actress and seems to us, a showbiz royalty! I mean 15 time Emmy nominee? And it has appeared in good movies too! The Good Wife, Addams Family Values, Cruel Intentions, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Chicago, to name a few.
Carol Ann Susi as Debbie Wolowitz
Carol Ann Susi’s character was famously known as Howard’s completely overbearing Jewish mother. Her loud, New Jersey accent, Debbie Wolowitz, was a loved character. In 2017, Carol Ann passed away from cancer at the age of 62. The show’s producers wrote a heartwarming message after her passing “Mrs. Wolowitz, every time you spoke, we laughed. You’re in our hearts forever.”
