Jerry Seinfeld Pays Tribute To TV Mother Liz Sheridan After Her Death At 93

April 17, 2022

Sheridan was romantically involved with the late James Dean before his career took off in the early '50s.

Hollywood is saying their goodbyes to another icon. Following the death of Seinfeld actress Estelle Harris earlier this month, another star from the sitcom has tragically passed away – 93-year-old Liz Sheridan, who played the role of Helen, Jerry's mother on the hit series.

As per Uproxx, the actress died in her New York City home earlier this week. She led an adventure-filled life up until her death, although she didn't rise to fame until middle age.



Sheridan, who was born to a concert pianist father and a singer mother in 1929, found herself naturally gravitating towards the entertainment industry, starting out as a dancer before migrating to the Caribbean for work.

Back in the early '50s, she crossed paths with – and eventually began dating – James Dean, although this was in the days before his tragically short-lived career took off. The Seinfeld star wrote about their union in her memoir, Dizzy & Jimmy: My Life With James Dean, a Love Story.

Elsewhere in her endeavours, Sheridan spent time on Broadway, working alongside Meryl Streep and Christoper Lloyd on Happy End in 1977, when she also happened to make her first on-screen performance in an episode of Kojak.
