Laurie Metcalf as Mary Cooper
Mary is Sheldon’s loving, supportive mother. She is arguably the only person who can control him and often remarks that she is glad that her other children, Missy and George, are not super smart like Sheldon is. She is a devout Christian but displays a lack of knowledge about the world, often offending people without meaning to. She also makes Leonard jealous as he wishes that his mother had been as nurturing towards him as Mary is to her son Sheldon.
