Seinfeld's Estelle Harris Dead at 93


 

Estelle Harris, who famously played George Costanza's mother on the '90s sitcom Seinfeld, has passed away. She was 93 years old.

The actress died of natural causes in Palm Desert, Calif. on Saturday, April 2, exactly 20 days before her 94th birthday. Deadline reported that her son, Glen Harris, held her as she passed away.

"It is with the greatest remorse and sadness to announce that Estelle Harris has passed on today, leaving a hole in my heart too deep to describe," he said in a statement to E! News through the actress' agent. "Her kindness, passion, sensitivity, humor, empathy and love were practically unrivaled, and she will be terribly missed by all those who knew her."

Jason Alexander, who played her son on Seinfeld, paid tribute to Harris on Twitter, writing, "One of my favorite people has passed - my tv mama, Estelle Harris. The joy of playing with her and relishing her glorious laughter was a treat. I adore you, Estelle. Love to your family. Serenity now and always. #RIPEstelleHarris"

Their co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Elaine Benes on the show, tweeted, "RIP Estelle Harris. I love you. #serenitynow."

I've said this and I stand by it," she said. "It is great." Conan O'Brien agreed with Mila's stance, though he was a bit distracted by her chest. "I saw a red carpet picture of you and it looked like Channing Tatum was staring at...because there are changes that the body goes through, and it looks like he's busted for staring at your breasts," the late-night host said. After a picture of Mila and her co-star appeared onscreen, she said, "Hold on! That's awful. Here's the thing...I swear! I know him and I love him. He really wasn't. But, boy, do these things grow! I don'
