Mot Morenzi Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 As the early prototype for Maris Crane on "Frasier", Irma Mooney was an outrageously described, never seen character. Let's cull a list of all known facts about her that Mooney lets slip over the years. 1) She's so bowlegged that were she straightened out she'd be 7 feet tall. 2) She's bald. 3) She's the niece of Mooney's first boss. 4) She likes ceramic cats 5) She's a dog lover 6) Bore Mooney 4 children (1 girl, 3 boys) That's all I can recall offhand. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 6) Bore Mooney 4 children (1 girl, 3 boys) That one might be up for dispute. LOL 7) Has at least one grandchild 8) Is hirsute in other areas but her head 9) Enjoys travelling 10) Is of Germanic descent (Maiden name: Klottendorf) 11) Met Mr. Mooney in school 12) Was set up with Theodore as a gag 13) Hat a "butch haircut" during high school 14) Practiced shotput in her youth (Much of Irma: The Early Years is revealed in Season Six) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 15) She's a fan of Lucy Carmichael's baking 16) She doesn't understand her husband, a fact he is only too willing to share. Even to his wife. 17) Has siblings and at least one nephew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot Morenzi Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 That one might be up for dispute. LOL I know a lot of people take Ted as a renamed and recast version of Bob, but I don't. Even the production notes say Mooney has 3 sons. Plus he clearly mentions his daughter in the 2nd Merman episode. So Mooney has 4 kids we don't see a lot of. They and the Carmichael kids (and Sherman) went on a road trip with Chuck Cunningham and got lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Involved in karate lessons. Can't remember if she was giving or taking. THREE boys? Are we counting Michael J. and Richard Applegate as two separate sons? That one might be up for dispute.

HarryCarter Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Involved in karate lessons. Can't remember if she was giving or taking. She takes karate lessons, but she is a wrestler. Irma is 6 foot, three inches and 250 pounds. She also likes rummage sales, but no one will take her. Irma's husband always gives her luggage for gifts, but she hasn't taken the hint.

C L A U D E Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 It's been fifty years and i'm still shocked they ever cast weirdo Michael J Pollard of Bonnie and Clyde movie fame as Mr Mooney's son on a Lucy show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
