In a startling turn of events, the iconic cast of “Seinfeld,” the beloved sitcom that redefined television comedy, is facing a grim reality as we reflect on their legacies and losses over the past 36 years. While the show first aired in 1989, its influence continues to resonate, but today we must confront the heartbreak of those who have passed away since its inception.

Among the dearly departed is Estelle Harris, who portrayed the unforgettable Estelle Costanza. Known for her sharp comedic timing, she left us at the age of 93 on April 2, 2022. Her dynamic presence shaped the show’s humor, making her absence profoundly felt.

Also mourned is Jerry Stiller, the brilliant actor who brought Frank Costanza to life. Stiller, who passed away on May 11, 2020, at 92 years old, left behind a legacy rich with memorable quotes and characters, forever etched in the annals of comedy history.

Liz Sheridan, who portrayed Jerry Seinfeld’s loving mother, and Ruth Cohen, the iconic cashier at Monk’s Café, both passed away in 2022 and 2008, respectively. Their contributions, though often understated, added a layer of authenticity to the beloved series.

As we celebrate the enduring impact of “Seinfeld,” we cannot overlook the loss of these comedic giants. The show may have ended, but the laughter it sparked lives on, a bittersweet reminder of the joy they brought to millions. As fans continue to cherish the series, we honor those who have departed, ensuring their legacies remain a vital part of television history.
