Jerry Seinfeld pays tribute to “Best TV Mother” Liz Sheridan
Jerry Seinfeld paid tribute to Liz Sheridan.
The 67-year-old comedian starred as a semi-fictional version of himself in the classic sitcom “Seinfeld” and took to Twitter to mourn the loss of Liz Sheridan, played by his overprotective mother Helen on the show. The 93-year-old actress died of natural causes on Friday.
He wrote: “Liz has always been the sweetest, sweetest TV mother her son could wish for. Every time he came to our show, it was the most cozy feeling for me. I’m so happy to know her. “
Jason Alexander – who plays Seinfeld’s best friend and assistant George Costanza in the longtime sitcom – also paid tribute after hearing the news.
He tweeted: “Oh my God, I just learned about Liz Sheridan’s death. She was as gracious and graceful a man and actress as you will ever meet. Charming life. Wonderful lady.
Liz, who was married to Dale Wells from 1985 until his death in 2003 and has a daughter, Stephanie, with him, was also known for her role as a curious neighbor, Ms. Ochmonek, in the ALF sitcom. She died just five days after her 93rd birthday and died “peacefully in her sleep,” according to her publicist Amanda Hendon.
She said in a statement: “Liz died peacefully in her sleep from natural causes at 2:30 a.m. Friday. Elizabeth Ann Sheridan, also known as Liz Sheridan, died peacefully in her sleep of natural causes at 2:30 a.m. Friday, April 15, 2022, just five days after her 93rd birthday. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law. “
