Jerry Seinfeld’s TV Mom, Liz Sheridan DEAD

She got on James Dean's dick

First Estelle Costanza dies, and now Helen Seinfeld. Ay-yi-yi!

Oh no. First Estelle Harris (Mrs. Costanza) and now Liz Sheridan (Jerry's mom). Jerry Stiller (Mr. Costanza) is gone too, Sheree Martin (Babs Kramer), Barney Martin (Morty Seinfeld). Lawrence Tierney (Elaine's dad Alton Benes) died 20 years ago. All the Seinfeld parents are gone. :(

I do march on.

Isn't she the one who said she had a hot and heavy affair with James Dean in the 1950s, and therefore he wasn't gay?

R5 yep. Dizzy Miss Lizzy

Yes - she details it in a book called DIZZY AND JIMMY. I have a copy somewhere in my basement - can't remember if she claims he boned her or not. She hung out with a group of them who hung out at some drugstore.

How ironic; she died on Elizabeth Montgomery’s birthday.

Oh, Dizzy!

Is it too late to have a double funeral with Estelle Harris? Everyone could comfort each other and it would be a real time-saver.

Jews bury their dead within three days, sometimes the same day if possible. I just read this in Harvey Fierstein's memoir I'm reading -

Liz Sheridan was not Jewish. Neither was Barney Martin. Ironic because they played the parents of one of the biggest Jews in tv history.

[quote]Sheree Martin (Babs Kramer)

I think that should be Sheree North.

Sheree North also played Blanche's sister who needed a kidney.

RIP....you will have friends were you are going.

Now I really believe he was gay.

^ who?

She was no looker. Of ALL the women James Dean could've had, he beds her?

R5 Bio says she lived with Dean on the Upper West Side for a year. Don't recall if it was the year before he died.

And, R12, the Jewish Estelle Harris was playing the Greek Orthodox, Mrs. Costanza.

Mrs. Ochmonek!

Net search reveals that Dean arrived in New York in 1951. In '52 he and Liz rented a "dilapidated room" at the Hotel Hargrave, 112 West 72nd. Today the 13-story building is "The Gallery" with 89 condos.

[quote]And, [R12], the Jewish Estelle Harris was playing the Greek Orthodox, Mrs. Costanza.

Wrong. She was a member of the Church of Festivus.

R12, if you are referring to R11, I think he or she meant Estelle. As for me, I was joking, which I’m not sure R11 knew.

R12/R20 that's why it's called 'acting,' peoples.

Aww....first George's mom and now Jerry's mom. RIP and condolences. Both in their 90s...so nice long lives.

R5 she didn't rule out that he may have been bisexual, though. That was her point.

She was Andy Griffith’s bed mate in his last onscreen sex scene.

Jerry pays tribute to his TV mom:

I thought the Costanzas were supposed to be Italian.

R29, and the Cheese Man from Golden Girls played his dad!

R18 She should be a DL icon. She looks like she caused a lot of men to turn gay.

She had a big honker but she couldn’t live forever.

Was she cremated at the Del Boca Vista Phase III crematorium?

But I don’t even know HOW to work the air conditioner!

Aw RIP.

Here’s a James Dean documentary that featured Liz throughout.

RIP Liz (and Larry King)

Another one

It’s the Early Bird Special!

R11, is Harvey Fierstein's memoir good?

Liz Sheridan was also Dorothy Loudon’s understudy in Ballroom. This should propel her to DL icon status R32.

Nice tweet from Jerry.

Hotel Hargrave is a beautiful building. One of many residence hotels on UWS that saw some bad days, but ultimately was saved.

R44 saved from what?

Demolition!

Just across and down street at Broadway and 72nd once stood Hotel St. Andrew...

First replaced by a two story taxpayer property.

Eventually replaced by new luxury housing, the Alexandra apartments.

Was she a trained dancer?

[quote]Oh no. First Estelle Harris (Mrs. Costanza) and now Liz Sheridan (Jerry's mom).

Both died this month and both were 93 years old.

It's like 2016 when Patty Duke, William Schallert, and Eddie Applegate from THE PATTY DUKE SHOW all died that year and 2021 when Ed Asner, Gavin McCleod, Cloris Leachman, and Betty White from THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW passed.

It’s like after Estelle passed away, Liz felt she didn’t have to hold on any longer. Maybe wanting to outlive her is what kept her going.

Perhaps they engaged in regular lesbian sex. With Estelle gone no one else would have her.

You were making out during Schindler’s List?!!

Everyone claims to have fucked James Dean.
