Bertha is my favourite character. My favourite scene is when Mrs Morris comes begging on behalf of her husband. You can see her pure anger, spite and satisfaction combined when she asks her to leave

[@bernadettebailey5370]

I like the truth she spoke: you have to have made a “deposit” first before you can receive! You can’t reap what you haven’t sowed.

[@Nicetomeetyouimharry]

@@bernadettebailey5370it’s an acting masterclass

[@Pittbull13]

Bertha is my favorite character. Such a ball buster. When she tells George is she going to have to dig potatoes. She doesn’t think she is better than anyone. That’s why I love her. She treats everyone with respect. She is nicer to her staff than her cohorts. Carrie I am now your greatest fan

[@yamil.343]

They have great chemistry & their relationship is believable. I really like the show.

[@ameliaclark5792]

I love the way George always has her back. I loved it when he bought everything at the Charity event and shut it down! I want a guy like that🥰😉

[@nancydorn2524]

Bertha and George are kind of Tony and Camilla Soprano….ruthless but dedicated to each other.

[@joansutton]

They are both brilliantly intelligent and it shows in their acting. I love seeing the great Carrie Coon - what a wonderful portrayal of Bertha Russell.

[@daddygrace253]

Morgan Spector is very good looking and sexy.

[@sylviamaua745]

He was great in "The Plot Against America"

HOW is Carrie Coon Bertha Russell AND Gloria Burgle?! Sure,she’s an actress..she’s doing what she’s supposed to do….but she’s so GREAT at it.

I like how Bertha gives the old money socialites especially Mrs Astor a run for their money.

[@tennesseerose6400]

OH George 🎉

[@user-vu3xd8dh7x]

I love this show but spent most of the 1st season wondering where I'd heard the voice of Bertha before and suddenly I realized that she is actually Audrey Meadows from the Honeymooners. 12-1-23

Thankyou for info.

[@dianeswanson5948]

Great interview!

[@EmantheHeartbreak]

Great choice!

[@nadinealterman7689]

Love George & Bertha

[@tinasapienza6552]

God I love Carrie Coon. I’m not big on period pieces but started watching because of her. I love Bertha, she’s flawed for sure, but she goes after what she wants.

[@livequality4578]

Oh Carrie how you enchant me.

[@reneeheld8458]

While watching the series I always wondered about his beard as it looks fake on the show. Watching here it seems like it is very thick!,

[@johnking8724]

[@bernadinetinker3028]

Is there is some degree of 'Bertha' in all of us?
