Rhea Perlman Soon Turns 75 – She Gardens, Enjoys Being a Grandma and Will Never Divorce Danny DeVito despite Separation

Rhea Perlman is soon turning 75 and has been married to her husband, Danny DeVito, for 40 years, even though they have separated twice, with the second time being a permanent separation.

The actress had a successful career and was a star in the popular sitcom “Cheers,” but she now lives a quiet life, enjoying visits from her granddaughter and tending to her house.

Rhea mostly resides in Los Angeles with the company of her rescue dog, Zorro, but has a residence in Chelsea to ensure she is near her actress daughter Lucy DeVito.

Rhea Perlman is an American actress, author, and producer. She was born on March 31, 1948, in Brooklyn, New York City. Her birthday is coming up soon as she will be turning 75. Rhea has played roles in famous movies such as “Matilda,” “Pom,” “The Sessions,” “Canadian Bacon,” and “Sunset Park.”

The comedian became well-known due to her role as Carla Tortelli on “Cheers,” which ran from 1982 to 1993. Rhea starred in the NBC sitcom for 11 seasons and won four Emmys for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Rhea, who has an estimated net worth of $60 million, had a successful career in acting. The mother of three played a recurring role in “The Mindy Project,” which aired on FOX from 2014 to 2017.

However, the comedian attributed her success as an actress to “Cheers,” which she said jumpstarted her career. The author remarked that playing Carla Tortelli was a massive thing for her and the best job ever:

“It was huge and I wouldn’t have had any of the career that I, well, who knows what I would’ve had? Nobody knows what doesn’t happen, but it was the best job in the world.”

The producer recalls not wanting the hit sitcom to come to an end. She remembers asking her co-actor George Wendt, who played Norm Peterson if they should end the series. However, the two agreed to keep it running for as long as they could:

“If someone gives you a present every year, you’re not going to take it the next year? Why not? So we took it for as long as they gave it.”

The comedian is the complete opposite of the characters she plays. Her role in “Cheers” showcased her as a tough woman, but in real life, the author is sweet and elegant. Rhea noted that the difference in her alters egos left people surprised:

“Everyone’s surprised when they meet me. I guess it’s because I’ve played tough cookies for so long. It’s what I do best. I’m not sure I could pull off a genteel Southern belle.”

In the CBS sitcom “Pearl,” the actress takes on a tough-talking role where she talks badly about women and is a master of scrappy conversations.

Despite her tough character on TV, Rhea does not talk ill about anyone in real life. In fact, she is keen about letting any negative comments come from her about her former colleagues.

The producer asked reporters not to print any names when she gave comments. She nervously defended herself on one occasion, saying that she would not have said anything if the reporter had not asked.

Her aggressive TV character Pearl would have snitched on her colleagues given a chance, but the comedian takes care...
