MARIE BARONE – DORIS ROBERTS




Marie Barone’s character really seems to have resonated with people.

That show, “Everybody Loves Raymond,” is now in 171 countries in the world. The United States government thought the Iraqi people should see an American family, so it was shown in Iraq–which was foolish, because we were so dysfunctional. It was shown twice, then taken off the air, because the mother was too strong.

Was your mother like her at all?

Not at all. My mother was a working mother. Those women who were taught to get married at an early age and have babies and take care of their babies and their husbands. They may have been obsessive about it, but they did good jobs, or they tried to.
