Doris Roberts, the woman who played the nosy and overbearing mother to Ray Romano’s character on the sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond," has died, the show's former spokeswoman said Monday according to CNN.

According to CNN, Roberts played Marie Barone, who was a constant thorn in the side of her daughter-in-law, played by Patricia Heaton.

The role earned her four Emmy awards, a Screen Actors Guild award and three Emmy nominations.

A veteran character actress, Roberts appeared in scores of TV shows and movies during her more than six decades in show business.

She had a recurring role on the 1980s TV series "Remington Steele" playing Mildred Krebs, the secretary to Pierce Brosnan's title character, the CNN reports.

Roberts also won an Emmy for an appearance on the drama "St. Elsewhere" in 1983.

Roberts' acting career began in the early 1950s and she soon got TV roles in episodes of "Naked City," "Ben Casey" and "The Defenders."

According to the CNN, after her film debut in 1961's "Something Wild," she appeared in more than three dozen movies. They included the original "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

Roberts guest-starred on some of the most popular TV shows from the 1970s to the 1990s, including "Mary Tyler Moore," "Fantasy Island," "The Love Boat" and "Murder, She Wrote,” reports the CNN.
