But that voice is now stilled as actress Estelle Harris has passed away at the age of 93.

“One of my favorite people has passed – my tv mama, Estelle Harris. The joy of playing with her and relishing her glorious laughter was a treat. I adore you, Estelle. Love to your family. Serenity now and always,” actor Jason Alexander, who played George Constanza on “Seinfeld,” tweeted.

Harris said in a 1998 interview that her “Seinfeld” character “is the mother that everybody loves, even though she’s a pain in the neck,” according to NPR.

Harris’s voice was a hit in the second, third and fourth films of the “Toy Story” series.

She played Mrs. Potato Head in what Variety called “a loving and nagging relationship with Mr. Potato Head, perfectly voiced by Don Rickles.”

In addition to her TV and movie roles, Harris did extensive TV commercial work, making up to 25 national TV spots in one year.

“Her passion was her work,” Glen Harris said, according to Deadline, “and her work was her passion.”
