Judith Harper-Melnick Played By Marin Hinkle

Judith is the character all Two and a Half Men fans loved to hate, probably because we all sympathized with Alan’s pain. She’s the often selfless ex-wife, Jake’s mother, and one of the sitcom’s main antagonists. She was a regular on the show from beginning to end, even though she only appeared briefly during the final three seasons.

Judith is portrayed by Marin Hinkle, an American actress born in Tanzania and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. While Two and a Half Men is arguably the most famous credit on her filmography, she is a regular on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and will be appearing on the series’ upcoming fourth season.
