Facts Verse Presents: Her Salary from Two and a Half Men is Hard to Swallow
Conchata Ferrell
Conchata Ferrell, who played the memorable and highly lovable Berta on Two and a Half
Men, was one of the show's most consistent stars.
Even though she was initially only supposed to be a short-term character, Ferrell brought
so much humor and humanity to Berta that she became a fan favorite throughout the show's
12 seasons.
By the time the series ended, most fans had come to care about Berta a great deal, despite
the fact that little was ever revealed about her character.
Ferrell's take on the role was completely different from what the show's producers had
envisioned.
In fact, during Ferrell's audition, the producers wanted Berta to be an "ethnic character" with
an Eastern European accent, but Ferrell decided to use her own voice instead.
As a result, she impressed the show's co-creator, Chuck Lorre, with her portrayal of a trailer
park person so much that he decided to keep her on for the entire series.
Thanks to her time on the show, Ferrell made a significant amount of money.
By the time the show ended, she was being paid $150,000 per episode.
If she only received that salary for the final 16 episodes of the series, she would have
made $2.4 million.
However, since Ferrell appeared in a total of 211 episodes, it's clear that the show
made her very rich.
In fact, at the time of her passing in 2020, Ferrell's estate was worth $10 million.
While some of that money came from other projects she worked on throughout her career, the majority
of it undoubtedly came from her time on Two and a Half Men.
It's a testament to her talent and hard work that she was able to turn what was supposed
to be just a two-part arc into a long and successful career on one of the most beloved
sitcoms of all time.
Sadly, Ferrell passed away on October 12, 2020, at the age of 77, after going into cardiac
arrest at Sherman Oaks Hospital in Los Angeles.
Ferrell had been facing health issues since 2019 and was relocated to a long-term care
facility in July of 2020 after suffering a heart attack.
