Carol Ann Susi, who is best known for voicing Mrs. Wolowitz on CBS' The Big Bang Theory, died early Tuesday morning in Los Angeles after battling cancer. She was 62.
"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," read a statement from Warner Bros. Television and Big Bang Theory producers Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro and Bill Prady. "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."

“Howard will find out that Stuart is willed the house and all hell breaks loose”
GREAT IDEA for a storyline!
RIP...
Mrs. Wolowitz is one of the great unseen characters in television, like Carlton the Doorman, Vera Peterson, and Maris Crane.
HOWARD!!!
Sad indeed. I don't think the character will go away. Howard and Stuart's storyline will continue. They'll replace her. Possibly with Melissa Rauch doing the voice. Perhaps someone else since I think Bernadette's voice is a bit too high though just as gravely.
Why not wait until Thanksgiving and cook up a Turbrisgefil?
Funny woman and sad for her family and friends.
However, I have the feeling that this wasn’t a surprise for those who produce and direct this great show.
Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) apparently is able to do Mrs. W’s voice, and will probably be doing it.
The Big Bang show is an absolute delight for people of all ages.
I woke up to Big Sadness at this news.
I think the actress who plays Bernadette can do the voice from off camera but I think something will always be missing...
62, so young!
Prayers for the family and my adopted friends at BBT.
You forgot the most famous, Mrs Colombo.
>>You forgot the most famous, Mrs Colombo.<<
Didn’t Kate Mulgrew play her on a spin off by that name?
(The first time she spoke on ST:Voyager my wife thought it was a parody LOL).
Just been watching a few of those episodes again. Not nearly as good as DS9, but still a lot of fun. The doctor is a classic Star Trek character.
DOH!
RIP.
