From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Penny Fuller (born July 21, 1940) is an American actress.
Born in Durham, North Carolina, Fuller attended Northwestern University in Illinois. She then went to New York City to make a name for herself on Broadway. Debuting in The Moon Besieged (1962), she later appeared in Barefoot in the Park (1963) and Cabaret (1966).
After a handful of Shakespearean productions, Fuller won critical plaudits on Broadway for her portrayal of the outwardly sweet but inwardly subversive Eve Harrington in Applause (1970-1972), the musical version of All About Eve with Lauren Bacall as Margo Channing.
Fuller won an Emmy for her performance in the role of Mrs. Kendal in the made-for-TV movie The Elephant Man (1982).
In 1993, she played Mrs. Drysdale in the theatrical motion picture version of The Beverly Hillbillies.
She also appeared periodically as Theresa Stemple, mother of Helen Hunt on the NBC sitcom Mad About You.
