Early life and education
Soon after she was born to parentsLuther Martin Ferell and Mescal Loraine, the family moved to Charleston in West Virginia where she was raised, before they moved again, this time to Circleville, Ohio.

She was in the Broadway cast of “The Hot L Baltimore”, and then in the off-Broadway play “The Sea Horse”, for which she won three awards – Drama Desk, Obie and Theatre World’s Best Actress Awards.
For her earlier work, Conchata is probably best known for her starring in the film “Heartland” in 1979, and as well for her role of a tough-talking owner in “Mystic Pizza” coming-of-age film in alongside Julia Roberts.

In the years after, she appeared in numerous movies and TV series, out of which the most notable were her appearance in an episode of “Friends” TV series in 1999, and her role in “Erin Brockovich” for which Julia Roberts won an Academy Award for Best Actress.
All of her previous work led her to the role of Berta, a housekeeper in “Two and a Half Men”, which she played for a total of 212 episodes shot from 2003 to 2015. For this role, she was nominated two more times for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series but didn’t manage to win either of them – in 2005, she lost to an actress from “Everybody Loves Raymond” and in 2007 to an actor from “My Name is Earl”.

Two and a Half Men
“Two and a Half Men” is an American TV sitcom counting 12 seasons, which was aired on CBS from 2003 to 2015. The original cast included Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and Conchata Ferrell, and Conchata wasn’t supposed to continue in the show, but after the writers saw the impact she could have on the series, they decided to keep her for good.
The story follows Charlie Harper (Sheen), his brother Alan (Jon) and his troublesome son Jake (Angus) who live together in Charlie’s house in Malibu, after Alan goes through a divorce – Conchata had the role of Charlie’s housekeeper called Berta. In 2010, it was decided to end the production for the rest of the eight seasons because they had problems with Charlie Sheen who had entered drug rehabilitation after insulting Chuck Lorre, the series’ creator and executive producer. Charlie was fired, and Ashton Kutcher hired to replace him – he buys Charlie’s house after his death, and keeps on living there with Alan, Jake and Berta.
