As he was wheeled out of a treatment center in the San Fernando Valley, beloved actor George Wendt appeared frail and weak. The 76-year-old, best known for his role as Norm on the hit sitcom Cheers in the 80s, was rarely seen in public in recent years. However, he made a rare appearance as he visited a health center.
With the assistance of a wheelchair, George was carefully brought into a dialysis clinic where he spent some time. He was later picked up by his wife of 45 years, actress Bernadette Birkett, who is 78 years old. It's unclear what specific health issues George is facing, as he has kept them private.
Outside of the center, George could be seen holding onto pillows for comfort. It's no surprise that the actor rarely makes public appearances, as he values his privacy. Thankfully, he had the support of his loving wife to help him through this difficult time.
Back in 2012, George had a public health scare when he was hospitalized for chest pains. At the time, he was performing in a local production in Chicago. It was later revealed that he had to undergo coronary bypass surgery due to a constricted artery. Despite this setback, George continued to pursue his passion for acting.
Earlier this year, fans were thrilled to see George reunite with his Cheers co-stars, including Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman, and John Ratzenberger, at the Emmy Awards. The beloved cast took the stage together at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater. It was a special moment for both the actors and fans alike, as the show was a huge success in the 1980s and ran for 11 seasons.
In addition to his role on Cheers, George also had his own sitcom, The George Wendt Show, which debuted in 1995 but unfortunately was canceled after a few episodes. He also appeared in various films and TV shows, such as Santa Buddies, The Little Rascals, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Columbo, and Wings.
