Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer And More Pay Tribute To Two And A Half Men’s Conchata Ferrell

Conchata Ferrell as Berta on Two and a Half Men

Yesterday, the TV community was saddened to hear of the passing of Conchata Ferrell, who was best known for her role as Berta the housekeeper on Two and a Half Men. For 12 seasons, Ferrell left audiences in stiches with Berta’s tough demeanor and spot-on one-liners. This would make her favorite with fans and earn her two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She left a significant mark on TV and, now, Two and a Half Men co-stars like Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer are paying tribute to her.

Shortly after Conchata Ferrell’s passing was reported, Charlie Sheen posted a sweet message on Twitter, in which he referred to the actress as a “consummate pro” and “genuine friend.” He also sent one last message to her character:

In a statement (via Deadline), co-creator Chuck Lorre remembered Ferrell for being “a rock” throughout the show’s lengthy run and made note of how loved she was by the cast and crew:

We called her Chatty. And we all loved her. Twelve years of highs and lows, and lots and lots of laughter. Through it all she was a rock. One of the greats. I was privileged to call her a friend.

While many are likely still reeling from Conchata Ferrell’s passing, and it’s so nice to see so many of her former colleagues honor her in such a great way. Her character may not have been the warmest person in the world, but it definitely sounds like Ferrell was a loving presence behind the scenes.
