We love Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. The wonderfully talented character actors are best remembered for Rhea’s feisty portrayal of waitress Carla on Cheers and DeVito’s brilliant performances as Louie De Palma in Taxi. Both received multiple Emmy’s for their roles in the hugely popular television sitcoms.
The couple live in Beverly Hills and have three adult children. They are active in the Democratic Party and DeVito co-owns a restaurant DeVito South Beach in Miami.
The successful pair are known for their business savvy and have remained viable in the Hollywood community long after their big hit roles have ended. Surrounded by glitz, they feel no compulsion to jump on that glam bandwagon.
DeVito made news in November 2006 when he appeared on ABC morning talk show The View in what appeared to be a very inebriated condition. He blamed it on actor George Clooney and the shots of Limoncello that they drank the night before his television appearance. Shortly thereafter, the enterprising DeVito marketed his own brand of the liqueur.
Check out more photos of Danny and Rhea below, and relive DeVito’s drunken dialogue during The View below.
