Liz Sheridan, actress best known as Seinfeld’s TV mom, dies at age 93

NEW YORK — Liz Sheridan, the charming actress best known for her role as Jerry Seinfeld’s adoring TV mom, died early Friday morning. She was 93.

Sheridan died peacefully in her sleep from natural causes, her representative told the Daily News. She turned 93 just five days ago.

Though she had an extensive acting career before her “Seinfeld” role, including a fast romance with a young James Dean, Sheridan was most widely seen as Helen Seinfeld, Jerry’s mom who couldn’t believe anyone would dislike her son.
