Character
Cheryl David
Cheryl David in Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000), played by Cheryl Hines.
Cheryl is Larry's wife, and the steadiest, most reasonable person in his orbit — which is its own kind of comedy, since it means she's constantly absorbing the fallout of his social disasters. She's warm, quick-witted, and genuinely fond of him, though her patience gets tested constantly by his refusal to let anything go.
Hines plays her as the rare Curb character with real affection underneath the exasperation, so her eye-rolls land as marital rather than adversarial. The show needs someone Larry's behavior actually costs something with, and her genuine warmth toward him raises the stakes of every scheme without ever making her a scold or a punchline.
