Beloved TV character actress Doris Roberts has died at age 90, according to a report on TMZ.

The celebrity-news site reported Monday evening that Ms. Roberts, perhaps best known as Ray Romano’s mother in “Everybody Loves Raymond,” died Sunday in Los Angeles.

She won five Emmys, four of them for playing Raymond’s mother Marie — the culmination of several roles as the mother or mother-in-law of the central character in sitcoms. She also played the down-to-earth Italian mother in the class-conflict comedy “Angie” and, albeit in a single episode, played Alice Hyatt’s mother in “Alice.”

Her other sitcom roles included parts in “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” “Barney Miller,” “Soap,” and more recently “Lizzie McGuire” (playing a grandmother by then).

Her fifth Emmy was for playing a homeless woman in a guest appearance on “St. Elsewhere.”

There was no immediate word on the cause of death.

She is survived by her son Michael Cannata Jr., from her first marriage, and three grandchildren

Great in ELR. Also played Clark Griswold's MIL on Christmas Vacation, by far the funniest of the Vacation films. RIP Doris.

When I saw the Late Show with David Letterman several years ago, she was one of the guests at the show I attended. Wow, didn't know she was that old.

She lives up the street from me in a home that had been owned by James Dean at one time.

She was always very sweet and down to earth. She'll be missed.

She reminded me of my mother in many ways...maybe she did to a lot of you as well.

Oh, yeah. My first thought was to do the math on my mother's age.
