She was a hoot as Debra's mother on Everybody Loves Raymond.
She is who Nancy Pelosi reminds me of.

I think it quite the compliment to her acting ability. She was playing an annoying ditz.

I was cast as Perma-Nancy during my 10-year run with the old Gridiron Shows. I trust it may have been because I WAS an annoying ditz.

She was also a favorite of Terry Gilliam. She had some great but small roles in Time Bandits and Brazil. Very underrated comic actress.
