Sheridan died of natural causes in her sleep, five days after her birthday on April 10, said Amanda Hendon, her longtime spokeswoman and friend. He did not give further details, including where Sheridan lived. Seinfeld’s role as Helen was her best known, but she followed decades of work on stage and screen. In the 1970s, Sheridan appeared on Broadway in plays and musicals, most recently Happy End with Meryl Streep and the Ballroom. “She was always very grateful to her fans and felt blessed to have enjoyed decades of work in the entertainment industry,” said Seinfeld Sings, who appeared on the show for one woman, Hendon said in a statement. Another Seinfeld mother, Estelle Harris, died two weeks ago on April 2. Harris, who played Jason Alexander’s George Costanza’s hot parent, was also 93 years old. “How could anyone not like you?”

I was so lucky to meet her.” In a 1998 interview with the Associated Press, Sheridan talked about how much she loved the comedian. “I will hug him to say goodbye and hug him to say hello,” he said. “I told him I loved him like he was my son. He told me, ‘I know. “I love you, Burney, as if you were my father and mother.” I loved her ❤️💙💚🤎🖤🤍🧡💛💜💟💘💕💓💗💖😍🥰 < a href=“https://t.co/rDxFV1ZdF2">https://t.co/rDxFV1ZdF2 – @ MarkHamill
