Award-winning American actress Bebe Neuwirth was born on December 31, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey. She won Emmy Awards for her performance on the classic television sitcom
Cheers , and Tony Awards for her onstage performances in the Broadway musicals Sweet Charity and Chicago. The daughter of Jewish-American parents, she began studying dance at the age of five, and specialized in the field when she later trained at Juilliard in New York City. She also performed with the Princeton Ballet Company in classics such as Peter and the Wolf and The Nutcracker. She has also appeared in films such as Jumanji, Summer of Sam, and Liberty Heights.
Lilith Sternin is portrayed by Bebe Neuwirth in the award-winning comedy series Cheers. An unusually restrained and unemotional woman, she always has very pale skin, dark hair tied back in severe bun, conservatively drab clothing, and a monotonous voice. She's also extremely cold to the touch, but one running joke shows that underneath her icy exterior, she has a rowdy and wild sexual appetite. Lilith is also immensely intellectual, and takes her job as a psychiatrist with the utmost seriousness, tending to form overly elaborate psychological profiles for the most mundane events. She is also Frasier's ex-wife.
