Apparently she was the voice of a character's unseen mother in "Big Bang Theory" (I'm sure Bitflipper will know what I'm talking about). I never watched the show, but I do remember her from the Seinfeld episode called "The Boyfriend." She played the daughter of the woman in George's unemployment office - George went on a date with her in a bid to have his unemployment extended. Thick Queens accent and an attitude to match. She was one of the best one-off characters in the show. Way too young at 62.

She was the voice of Mrs. Wolowitz, Howard's unseen mother.

Very sad.  RIP Carol Ann.  

HOWERRD!

Bummer...    as a "voice only" character she was perfect.   
 
And just when she was getting along so well with Stuart from the comic book store...

Stuart from the FORMER comic book store....
 
he and Mrs. Wolowitz have no plans to rebuild...
 

Looks like there's more Big Bang fans here than I thought, lol.....might have to give it a watch sometime if it's on Netflix.  

She will be missed.

Good point...    The big comic store buyout never went anywhere, did it...
 
Sharke, like any TV show it's not for everyone, but I personally find it pretty @#$% funny!  So much quark-level neurosis in 30 minute chunks.
