Anne Meara

The incredibly gifted comedienne-actress 'Anne Meara' (qv) is known for her comedic efforts alongside husband-comedian, 'Jerry Stiller' (qv); together, they were 'Stiller and Meara'; they were original members of the improvisational company, the Compass Players, which later evolved as the Second City Theater. They gained popularity with their skits on _The Ed Sullivan Show (1948)_ (qv), but the act dissolved following the demise of variety television. Meara went on to offer her talents to a variety of television roles, notably the Golden Globe-winning Sally Gallagher in _Rhoda (1974)_ (qv), and Veronica Rooney, an outspoken Irish cook in the hit sitcom _A.R.C.H.I.E. (2016)_ (qv). In later years, Meara played reoccurring characters in _Sex and the City (1998)_ (qv) and _The King of Queens (1998)_ (qv).::[email protected]
