Marilyn Cooper (December 14, 1934 - April 22, 2009) played Betty Sternin, ( Liliths mother). She was an actress and singer for nearly forty years on Broadway.
So she was still with us while Frasier was on. Too bad she never made an appearance, seeing her interact with Roz or Daphne would have been a hoot. And of course... the SPARKS that would have flown between her and Marty!
@ahmedhussain999. Diane used to until the writers performed a spine-ectomy on her in the third season. Back then Carla's attacks were less frequent and more benign, something the audience could identify in Diane and therefore agreeably funny. Later on there were too many ugly references to death or mental illness or physical appearance from Carla in that dumbass masculine way of hers. Diane was seldom permitted to give a retort. It felt hollow.
That's what happens when you hit back at people who like to hurl insults. A lot of time they can dish it out but can't take it, so when you give it back to them they get flustered. Many years ago, I worked with a guy like that. He had an insult like that for everyone, whether they were overweight, or bald, or whatever. In my case, I was was starting to lose my hair, so he'd make a lot of bald cracks. That didn't bother me. But what did bother me, was that there was another guy there, a good friend of mine, who stuttered, and this guy used to tease him about it. To me, that was totally classless, making fun of a person's affliction. My friend said it didn't bother him, but i knew it did, so I wanted to get back at this guy. Someone had told me that this jerk was self conscious about being short (he was maybe 5'4"), so I waited for an opportunity to hit him with it. Sure enough, one day he looked at the bald spot on my head and said "you're getting a little thin up top". I just looked him in the eye and said "how do you know? You can't see the top of my head". The look on his face was priceless. He muttered something like he wanted to come back with something but had nothing. He just turned and walked out of the room. What made it great was that there was a whole room full of people (many of whom had been the targets of his insults), and they were all laughing their asses off. He was mortified. He pretty much kept his mouth shut after that.
@@FratAsh The actress *Marilyn Cooper,* who played Betty here, also played one of *Fran Drescher's* grandmothers (Morty's mom) on two episodes of _The Nanny._
Night Court is well known for its tall actors, but Cheers often gets overlooked for the peak heights of many of its actors (their heights today would be lower given people often shrink a slight bit as they get older)- Kelsey Grammer is 6'1", Ted Danson is 6'3" (or more accurately 6'2.5"), Woody Harrelson is 5'11", and John Ratzenberger is 5'10" (more accurately 5'9.5"). That's all above average height for men.
MASH. I met Mike Farell. D bag but very tall dude. (6'3") He, Alda (6'2") and the amazing David Ogden Stires (who really could have been Frasier's dad if theyhad gone in that direction) were all abut the same height. According to google Stires at 6'4" was the tallest of the three.
Actually Rhoda was ok but The Mary Tyler Moore Show is what you've actually described. Many sitcoms including Cheers were descendants of what MTM started.
I agree with you,she totally met her match,so much in a way that she chose some voluntary sick leave,then later you see where her daughter fraisers wife got it from,when she had to tell eoody off in very plain english what she really meant!!!!!!!!
I used to work with an asshole lawyer who would say "Thank you. That was helpful" at the conclusion of a lot of his conversations. Finally, we broke the code. That was his way of calling you a dumbass.
Yes is expires me to write my own poem every single time his thoughts. His words his emotional his love Inner soul brings pen to paper. So enjoy.

Lilith was a superb character, acted flawlessly by Neuwirth, who was incredibly hot and sexy both in and out of character. In fact, of all the so called hotties that went through the doors of Cheers, in the end, Neuwirth and Lillith were the hottest!
The best show ever. Never get tired of watching the re-runs
Frasier is better
@@bvedant Frazier doesn't even come close to Cheers
I like Cheers and Frasier they are BOTH great shows.
Cheers and Night Court were the pinnacle of TV sitcom writing.
Best sitcoms ever
Also Married with Children, Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens and Golden Girls.
@@kendallrivers1119 all good choices.
Frasier
Marilyn Cooper (December 14, 1934 - April 22, 2009) played Betty Sternin, ( Liliths mother). She was an actress and singer for nearly forty years on Broadway.
Thanks for trivia.
Interesting. Too bad she died young.
So she was still with us while Frasier was on. Too bad she never made an appearance, seeing her interact with Roz or Daphne would have been a hoot. And of course... the SPARKS that would have flown between her and Marty!
They got Bebe Neuwirth from Broadway also
She also played Fran's mother- in -law on The Nanny. I was trying to remember where else I'd seen her.
Some of the best writting,acting and comedic timing in tv history.👍
It was the best of writting , it was the blurst of writting.
So true!
@@gregp103 you stupid monkey!
@@SpyderDan1985 yes!
Carla encounters her kryptonite.
Good one Woody!. LOL! His polite way of saying "Shut your mouth Lilith!".
LOL...Loved that zinger...good on Woody! ;D
I don't think Woody ever knew what he was saying.
@@independentfilmchannel1476 Nah, in this case he did lol. Woody could be quite witty and sharp on occasion.
To be in the writers room during that show. Brilliance.
Agreed. Great material and great actors who brought it to life. Lilith was always one of my favorites!
Nothing like a short person insulting a taller person with "short jokes". lol
"I would've thought it was your job to live under a bridge." Take it Carla. Love when that happens.
Woody is way too adorable here
Woody: You should tell your Mother how you feel.
Frasier: Is that what you do Woody?
Woody: Yeah right like I want a whooping. 😆😆😆😆😆
Or he could have answered- "Heck no, I don't even know Lillith's mother!".
God Bless Woody....no whoopins😘😘😘
Fun fact: she would've been the mother of Michael Keaton, who showed up on "Frasier" as Lilith's con artist brother.
Great catch and an amazing episode.
Thank you for the memories of the 80s the best show ever.👍🇵🇹❤️
really good writing.
There are very few who can outmatch Carla.
I thought that was her mother.
That ess liliths mother. Her mother ws the one who wNted one her children to be renamed benito mussolini
I think Sophia Petrillo from Golden Girls and Benny Lopez from The George Lopez Show would be hilarious matches too lol.
@ahmedhussain999. Diane used to until the writers performed a spine-ectomy on her in the third season.

@@independentfilmchannel1476 let me guess, you're one of the few Diane fans aren't you? 😂
Lol Carla met her match.
smck 2016 q
and lost
The only person who could challenge Carla 😂
That woman just had Carla off balance. Her insults begged for easy come-backs, but Carla couldn't get there.

@@johnmac91 No offense but that's a pretty weak comeback. For the guy to get flustered that easily is laughable. Glad it all worked out in the end.
I like this moment
Man Those were the days😂😂😂 best sitcom ever.
She was pretty funny as Fran Fine’s grandmother.
Wrong show
Also wrong actress

Woody Boyd: one of the greatest sitcom characters in tv history!
I wish they put it back on TV
It's on Hallmark channel at 4 am & 4:30 am weekdays.
Betty does know she's even smaller than Carla
Great show!
You said it.. XD
"I'm not a rotisserie chicken."
"You're not a spring chicken either, it's probably just a hot flush."
Igmc.
Need to get Al Bundy in there to coach her with the chicken joke comebacks. Then that old bird could bock bock bock her way out of the bar.
@@yamatodamashii1179 Please. Al Bundy was the epitome of juvenile idiot humor.

@@kendallrivers1119 all 110 Rhoda episodes were actually brilliant whether you realize it or not.

Did anyone notice the towel on Carla's shoulder kept getting lower in three stages...? A set of errors.
If anyone has a great Carla Insult compilation that they have a link to, would love to see it. Couldn't stand watching her so powerless ! 😎
she earned it…
that was Lilith's mama!
edit) 1 years later and i had forgotten all about this 1/27/2021
What else have you forgotten?
How not to be a narcissist perhaps, Lex?
How? I was around 12 when I first watched this. The rotisserie chicken line is tattooed on my brain. Just so damn funny!
Oooh, Lilith with a plait!
She was in Beetlejuice...
Ah, the days of real actors and writers. 😊
Best TV show ever so very funny 😄 😆 🤣
