Two and a Half Men star Conchata Ferrell has passed at the age of 77.
According to Deadline, Ferrell peacefully passed on Oct. 12 due to complications following a cardiac arrest. She was surrounded by loved ones at Sherman Oaks Hospital in Sherman Oaks, California, at the time of her passing.
Ferrell’s passing comes about five months after it was released that she had suffered from a heart attack. At the time, Ferrell’s husband Arnie Anderson told TMZ that the actress was hospitalized in May. She spent over four weeks in the intensive care unit and the cardiac arrest occurred during her stay, which Anderson said lasted for about 10 minutes.
She was then transferred to a long-term care facility and put on a respirator and dialysis. Anderson shared that he wasn’t able to visit his wife due to pandemic guidelines, but he spoke to her nurse frequently.
Ferrell is most known for playing Charlie Sheen’s beloved housekeeper Berta on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men. She starred in the show for its entire duration from 2003 up until the finale in 2015.
Ferrell has had a long career and has been acting since 1974. She was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series in 2005 and 2007. She also received a nomination for playing Susan Bloom in L.A. Law in 1992.
Aside from Two and a Half Men, Ferrell also starred in the TV series The Ranch, Grace and Frankie, and The Wild Thornberrys. She has also had many film roles including Deported, A Very Nutty Christmas, Citizen Tony, and Frankenweenie.
