Estelle Harris, a beloved character actor best known in live-action for playing George Constanza\u2019s easily frustrated mother on Seinfeld <\/em>and best known in animation for playing devoted toy matriarch Mrs. Potato Head in the Toy Story <\/em>series, has died. This comes from Deadline<\/em><\/a><\/span>, which says she died of natural causes on Saturday night. Harris was 93.
Born in New York in 1928, Harris didn\u2019t even begin professionally pursuing an acting career until after her three children had grown up, making her debut in the film Looking Up <\/em>in 1977. At the same time, she became a reliable commercial spokesperson, appearing in dozens of ads a year at one point. She was also in Once Upon A Time In America<\/em>, NightCourt<\/em>, Married\u2026 With Children<\/em>, a Law & Order <\/em>episode, and Mad About You<\/em>.
But her breakout role was, of course, playing Estelle Costanza (Deadline <\/em>says the character was named before she was cast) on Seinfeld<\/em>, with her frequently antagonistic relationship with her family painting a brilliantly clear picture of how Jason Alexander\u2019s George Costanza could grow up to be the kind of man he was. That\u2019s to say nothing of the fact that she held her own against the incredible Jerry Stiller<\/a><\/span>, with the duo\u2019s screaming matches (punctuated with Harris\u2019 instantly memorable cries like \u201cYou\u2019re killing him!\u201d) solidifying their place as two of the funniest sitcom actors of all time.
Harris\u2019 Seinfeld <\/em>role is so iconic that a huge number of her subsequent roles were pretty clearly responses or references to her work on Seinfeld<\/em>. She often popped up as a character\u2019s previously unseen mother, like on the Hercules <\/em>cartoon, Futurama<\/em>, and <\/em>Disney\u2019s Kim Possible<\/em>, and it\u2019s hard to argue that she\u2019s playing anything other than a nicer version of Estelle Costanza in the Toy Story <\/em>series\u2014once again holding her own against a comedy icon, this time Don Rickles, who played Mr. Potato Head. Her final credited film role was her appearance as Mrs. Potato Head in Toy Story 4<\/em><\/a><\/span>.
On Twitter, Jason Alexander posted a tribute to his \u201cTV mama,\u201d saying, \u201cone of my favorite people has passed\u201d and that \u201cplaying with her and relishing her glorious laughter was a treat.\u201d
