Carol Ann Susi, the voice behind The Big Bang Theory's Mrs. Wolowitz, has died at the age of 62 after battling an aggressive form of cancer, her rep confirmed to Us Weekly on Tuesday, Nov. 11.
"The Big Bang Theory family has lost a beloved member today with the passing of Carol Ann Susi, who hilariously and memorably voiced the role of Mrs. Wolowitz," a statement from Warner Bros. Television, CBS, and The Big Bang Theory producers Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro, and Bill Prady read. "Unseen by viewers, the Mrs. Wolowitz character became a bit of a mystery throughout the show’s eight seasons. What was not a mystery, however, was Carol Ann’s immense talent and comedic timing, which were on display during each unforgettable appearance. In addition to her talent, Carol Ann was a constant source of joy and kindness to all. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with her family during this time, and we will miss her greatly."
Aside from voicing Mrs. Wolowitz, Susi also appeared in countless other shows throughout her 40-year career including Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, That ’70s Show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Just Shoot Me, and Seinfeld.
Carol Ann is survived by her beloved brother, Michael Susi, and his wife Connie, and the multitudes of friends who truly were Carol Ann’s other family, her rep concluded in a statement to Us.
