Fans familiar with diminutive American actress Rhea Perlman only through her Emmy-winning characterization of wasp-tongued waitress Carla Tortelli on the TV sitcom Cheers are usually taken aback to discover that Perlman is as shy and soft-spoken as Carla was pushy and abrasive. A working actress since the 1960s, Perlman played Carla from 1983 until Cheers; swan song ten years later. Most of her outside projects during that period, notably the 1984 TV movie The Ratings Game and a 1986 episode of Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories, were done in conjunction with her longtime companion, Danny DeVito, who also played her boyfriend on the late 70s comedy series Taxi.

Very, very underrated actress as I wished that I got to see more of her. Not just she is a great actress and better known as Carla from "Cheers" but also the wife of actor-director Danny Devito. As I think that there should be more shows of Rhea Pearlman as she has starred alongside her husband in movies and tv. As both have great chemistry and seem to work well together. One of the few couples that have chemistry both on and off the screen. And that they are still married after all of these years, a rarity in Hollywood IMHO!
