‘Howard!’

Carol Ann Susi, the husky, overbearing, booming voice of Howard Wolowitz’s mother on CBS’ “Big Bang Theory,” died at 62 after a battle with cancer.

She never appeared on camera, but her brash Brooklyn accent dominated the scenes anyway.

Susi made guest appearances on "Cheers," "Mad About You" and "Seinfeld."

Susi played the mother of Simon Helberg's character, Howard Wolowitz, in “Big Bang.”

"The Big Bang Theory family has lost a beloved member today," the show's executive producers said. "Unseen by viewers, the Mrs. Wolowitz character became a bit of a mystery throughout the show's eight seasons. What was not a mystery, however, was Carol Ann's immense talent and comedic timing, which were on display during each unforgettable appearance."

The comedy about smart but socially awkward physicists is in its eighth season.

Her publicist described her as a "spunky Italian gal from Brooklyn" who was passionate about Halloween horror mazes and cooking.
