Actress Frances Sternhagen has died at the age of 93. That reports The Hollywood Reporter. The versatile actress’s career spans more than half a century. Sternhagen played major roles in series such as Sex and the City and Cheers and received two Tony Awards for her stage work.
In Sex and the City she appeared for two seasons as Bunny MacDougal, the meddling aristocratic mother of Trey, to whom Charlotte York was married for some time. Another major television role that the general public knew her from was the overprotective Esther Clavin in the hit series Cheers. Sternhagen received Emmy nominations for both roles.
The actress really enjoyed playing insufferable characters, she told the magazine in 2002 Los Angeles Times. “I know a lot of women like that and I can apparently imitate them very well,” she said at the time.
The actress received her Tony Awards in 1974 and 1995 for roles in The Good Doctor by Neil Simon and The Heiress. In cinema, Sternhagen has appeared in a number of critically acclaimed Stephen King film adaptations, such as Misery (1990) and The Mist (2007).
