3	->'''Bebe Neuwirth:''' Look, you guys, you guys are freaks, man. I'm not Lilith, I'm Bebe. I'm an actress. I sing. I'm a Broadway dancer. [[LegFocus Look at these pins]]. You know any 40-year-olds who can wrap their legs around their necks? Look, these babies worked for me before ''Series/{{Frasier}},'' they're gonna work for me afterwards. So don't you worry about Lilith.
4	->'''Karen:''' You mean Bebe.
5	->'''Neuwirth:''' [[HypocriticalHumor No, I mean Lilith]]. ''I want to play that bitch forever!''... ''Frasier'' is such an easy gig, man! They fly you first class to Los Angeles, put you up in the Bel Air Hotel, per diem. ''I deliver several lines in a robotic monotone'' and I'm buyin' a new Lexus!

8	Beatrice "Bebe" Neuwirth (born December 31, 1958 in Newark, New Jersey) has been around Hollywood and Broadway for a while.
9
10	Trained as a dancer, Neuwirth made her New York debut in ''Theatre/AChorusLine'' and later won awards for her roles in revivals of ''Theatre/SweetCharity'' and ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}''. It helped that she had previously worked with Creator/BobFosse.
11
12	However, most of the world knows her as Dr. Lilith Sternin of ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' and (occasionally) ''Series/{{Frasier}}''. Some might also know her as the {{Determinator}} [=ADA=] Tracey Kibre of ''Series/LawAndOrderTrialByJury'', or as Faith O'Connor, Mike Olshansky's girlfriend in ''Series/{{Hack}}'', or maybe as Nadine Tolliver, Secretary [=McCord=]'s Chief of Staff in ''Series/MadamSecretary''. Younger viewers might remember her from the sequel and TV series to ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' as both Annabelle the archangel and her demonic cousin Belladonna, as well as from Creator/CartoonNetwork's ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'' as Marguerrite Grey.
13
14	She also headlined ''Theatre/TheAddamsFamily'' on Broadway as Morticia Addams, opposite Creator/NathanLane as Gomez Addams. A failed television {{pilot}} starring Neuwirth, ''Film/DearDiary'', was shown in theaters and won an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Live Action Short Film.
