Actress Sheree North has died. Some might remember her as a young Marilyn Monroe substitute. Others may remember her as Kramer’s mother on Seinfeld. I liked her better as she got older and had a sort of world-weary but still appealing quality in her face and voice. In fact, I borrowed her first name for a character in TJB’s forthcoming novel Someone Like You, because the character made me think of the actress.
RIP, Sheree.
Sheree North rocked. I never understood why she wasn’t a bigger star, and she did improve with age like fine wine.
I saw the headline that Kramer’s mother died, but I was one of maybe four Americans who didn’t care much for Seinfeld, so I didn’t know the story referred to her.
