Rhea Perlman, featured so prominently on the classic sitcom Cheers, which ran for 11 seasons, looks back fondly on her career since the show ended its run. The sitcom, which originally aired from 1982 to 1993, explored the lives of a group of people — among them Rhea’s head waitress, Carla Tortelli — who spent all of their time in a fictional bar in Bostom. The sitcom’s finale remains one of the most widely-viewed episodes in TV history. Nearly thirty years later, Perlman still gives credit to the series for kicking off her career in Hollywood, her credits eventually including such films as Swap Meet, Love Child, Canadian Bacon, Carpool, and I’ll See You in My Dreams. Looking back at her career, Rhea is grateful for the sitcom and other roles she has portrayed. In her words, Cheers might have meant everything in the beginning of her career.
