"Seinfeld" actress Heidi Swedberg has filed for divorce from her husband after 25 years of marriage.
Swedberg, who famously portrayed George Costanza's fiancée, Susan Ross, filed documents Tuesday at an L.A. County Courthouse.

The 53-year-old star has been married to cinematographer Philip Holahan since 1994 and they have two children.
Swedberg's character was famously killed off "Seinfeld" after Susan licked a poison envelope.
During an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" in 2015, actor Jason Alexander revealed that his TV fiancée was killed off because the cast hated the character and Swedberg didn't click with the stars.
"Her instincts for doing a scene, where the comedy was, and mine were always misfiring," Alexander explained.
He later apologized for dragging her through the mud and said the actress was very professional during her run on "Seinfeld."
After her days mixing it up with Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer, Swedberg appeared in bit parts on numerous TV shows, including "Gilmore Girls," "ER" and "Wizards of Waverly Place."
Her last notable role was a 2010 episode of the defunct medical drama, "Hawthorne."
