Carol Ann Susi, a talented character actress and voice of Howard Wolowitz’s mother on The Big Bang Theory, has passed away at the age of 62. Even though she couldn’t be seen on the CBS hit, her impact was felt throughout the series and she became a beloved character. From The Hollywood Reporter:
“The Big Bang Theory family has lost a beloved member today with the passing of Carol Ann Susi, who hilariously and memorably voiced the role of Mrs. Wolowitz. Unseen by viewers, the Mrs. Wolowitz character became a bit of a mystery throughout the show’s eight seasons. What was not a mystery, however, was Carol Ann’s immense talent and comedic timing, which were on display during each unforgettable appearance. In addition to her talent, Carol Ann was a constant source of joy and kindness to all. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with her family during this time, and we will miss her greatly.”
You’ve probably seen Susi elsewhere during here long career, most memorably in Married With Children as the wife of Al’s friend Ike and in Seinfeld as George’s date from “The Boyfriend”, the daughter of an unemployment officer.
