‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ star Doris Roberts dies at 90

The spunky actress who played the tart-tongued, endlessly meddling mother on CBS’ “Everybody Loves Raymond” received an outpouring of praise on Monday following news of her death.

Phil Rosenthal, the sitcom’s creator, called her “a wonderful, funny, indelible actress and friend” on Twitter.

CBS said in a statement that Ms. Roberts “will be remembered for lighting up every room she walked into with an unparalleled combination of energy, humor, warmth and even a little bit of grit.”

Ms. Roberts won four Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Marie Barone on CBS’ “Everybody Loves Raymond,” receiving a total of seven nominations as best supporting actress for the sitcom.

Roberts received her first Emmy Award in 1983, for her supporting role on the series “St. Elsewhere.”
