Remember Lilith From ‘Cheers’? Bebe Neuwirth, 67, Is Absolutely Stunning With Her Graying Hair

Bebe Neuwirth became a household name back in the ’80s on Cheers, but the legendary actress is looking better than ever in 2026.

Neuwirth, 67, rose to superstardom in the role of Lilith in the iconic sitcomCheers, which ran from 1982 to 1993. It followed the hijinks of a group of Bostonians who hang out at the local watering hole, Cheers, where the bartender, a former Boston Red Sox star named Sam Malone (played by the beloved actor Ted Danson), tends bar. The character of Lilith was the cerebral wife of Dr. Frasier Crane, played by Kelsey Grammer, who would continue in the role on his series Frasier. Woody Harrelson, Shelley Long, George Wendt, and John Ratzenberger rounded out the legendary cast.

Flash forward to today, and Neuwirth’s glamorous appearance on the red carpet is a sharp contrast to Lilith’s buttoned-up style. Neuwirth attended the red carpet premiere of Netflix’s Don’t Say Good Luck in New York at The Plaza Hotel, and the star was absolutely stunning with a bold red lip and a smile on her face.

While Lilith always had her hair tied back tightly in a bun, Neuwirth let her legendary curls fly on the red carpet. With gray roots, she’s embracing the trend of stars who let their natural colors show.

Her Real Home Is in the Theater

While she may be instantly identified with her role as Lilith, Neuwirth considers her first home to be the theater.

“I’ve been onstage since I was 7,” she told the New York Times in 2024. “It’s my home.”

The Tony winner has appeared in iconic theatrical productions including Cabaret, Sweet Charity, Chicago, and A Chorus Line.

“I am a dancer first,” she shared. “I’m a physical performer, and that impulse, that expression doesn’t go away even if I’m standing still and listening to someone.”

Bebe Neuwirth As Lilith on ‘Cheers’

Cheers had so many memorable characters, but no one can deny that whenever Lilith entered the room, she stole the scene.

Her iconic personality and dynamic with Frasier Crane still makes us laugh to this day. This scene of Frasier and Lilith’s first date is such a classic.

“I have a feeling you only brought me to this place to surround yourself with people you know and I don’t.”
