Iconic TV role: Bebe Neuwirth

Beatrice "Bebe" Neuwirth is closely associated in public memory with her portrayal of the tight-lipped, slightly neurotic, uber-feminist psychiatrist Dr. Lilith Sternin, wife and later ex-wife of fellow psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane on "Cheers" and its equally popular spinoff, "Frasier."

"Cheers" ran from 1986 to 1993 and "Frasier" from 1994 to 2003.

Neuwirth trained in dance and attended the Juilliard School. She has appeared on Broadway and has done other TV appearances, including "Simon & Simon," "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," "Law and Order," and "Will & Grace," but owes her celebrity to the testy Lilith.
