Actress Frances Sternhagen has died at the age of 93. Her son confirmed this after media reports. The versatile actress’s career spans more than half a century. Sternhagen played major roles in series such as IS, Sex and the City in Cheers.
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. She also appeared in the hospital series for a number of years IS.
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 apparently I can imitate them very well.”
Sternhagen received two Tony Awards for her stage work, in 1974 and 1995. These were 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) in The Mist (2007).
