Lovely and talented, she is primarily known for her role as the never seen Mrs Wolowitz, Howard Wolowitz' mother, in "The Big Bang Theory", easily the funniest and most well written show on TV since Seinfeld. She's not ever seen, but she is definitely heard. She also (and the reason she is sadly on this list of deceased persons) had a very memorable role in Seinfeld as a woman that George is fixed up with. In addition to those two memorable roles, she also played the secretary of Karl Kolchak waaaaaaay back in the early 70s on "The Night Stalker".
