Roberts worked steadily in film and television for seven decades, appearing opposite Elliott Gould in Little Murders and Carol Kane in Hester Street before finding her widest audience late in her career as the meddling, beloved matriarch Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond. The role brought several of her five Emmy Awards and made her a defining television mother of her era. She was also a longtime advocate for animal rights.
