Mel's mother was a little mean towards him - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

She didn't have the best manners when it came to him. I see where Mel gets his grumpiness from.

But, I have to admit, she was funny. LOL

Martha Raye was perfect for the part.

Did you see the one where she and Alice do a duet of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"???

Martha Raye's character I see a lot of in the mother on George Lopez. Although, Benny on George Lopez is based on a real person, George's mother in real life.

That was one of the worse singing I heard Linda Lavin did other than the Ramona from Arizona song she sung in the episode with Joel Grey.

Linda is at her best when singing show tunes.

I always wonder who was the lady who played Mel's Mom and what is she doing now.

Martha Raye, who played Mel's mom, passed away in 1994. Here's her bio from imdb.com: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0713106/bio
