Holland Taylor (Evelyn)
We mentioned her earlier, but let’s talk about the woman who played Alan and Charlie’s dear mother. Evelyn didn’t have the healthiest of relationships with her adult children, evidenced by the fact that they did their best to avoid each other at all costs.
She didn’t really like how Charlie was living his life, but seeing as how she got married numerous times and for all the wrong reasons, she didn’t really have the moral high ground when it came to lecturing Charlie. The love was there, though, so don’t mistake their unwillingness to speak as mutual hatred. We wish she appeared on screen more often than she did.
