3. All About the Perlmans

“Carla Tortelli,” played by Rhea Perlman, had a few extra reasons for loving her job. Throughout 1985 and 1986 as her character dropped various wisecracks, behind-the-scenes Perlman’s sister Heidi was scribbling away. She ended up writing 17 of the show’s episodes, and produced over two dozen. Philip Perlman, their father, also made 32 appearances in the series as an extra.
