Actress Liz Sheridan has unfortunately passed away. She was 93 years old.
The beloved actress was best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld’s mother on “Seinfeld” and also had a reoccurring role on “ALF.” She appeared in several Broadway shows before she eventually passed away on Friday in New York City.
Her longtime friend and rep, Amanda Hendon, told Deadline that she passed away overnight in her sleep of natural causes.

Shortly after her rep announced her death, Jerry Seinfeld, who played her TV son, took to Twitter to express his condolences.
He tweeted, “Liz was always the sweetest, nicest TV mom a son could wish for. Every time she came on our show it was the coziest feeling for me. So lucky to have known her.”
“Sorry to hear that. She was hilarious,” one fan commented. “Though of course some of us remember her from another show, too.” Liz was also well-known for playing the neighbor, Rachel, on “ALF.”

“I loved how much she loved Jerry on the show. ‘How could Anyone not like you??’ A great, very lovable actress,” another wrote. “It feels like I lost a couple of friends this week. Thank you for making me laugh, always. Rest In Peace.” Comedian Gilbert Gottfried passed away earlier this week, on Tuesday.

One of my most favorite scenes from Seinfeld… although Julia steals the scene Liz’s line ‘I hate her like poison’ still makes me laugh to this day. She will be missed but very fondly remembered. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/6FPfbeGG0J
