Margaret Chenowith

Played by Joanna Cassidy

Married to Bernard Chenowith, Margaret Chenowith is the mother of Brenda and Billy Chenowith, and a career woman (psychiatrist). By her standards, she and her husband "met cute"; while an intern, she was one of his patients. As Margaret tells it, she walked into his office in a "tight blue Givenchy skirt slit up to my wazoo" and, with a few notable exceptions, they were together until his recent death from cancer.
