=== Film and television ===
While in Los Angeles waiting to receive a Tony for her appearance in ''Sweet Charity'' in 1985, Neuwirth auditioned for the role of Dr. [[Lilith Sternin]] in the television series ''[[Cheers]]''.<ref name="CheersRetrop101">Bjorklund, p. 101</ref> At the time, Neuwirth was not interested in doing television work and her character was initially planned to be in only one episode of the series.<ref name="CheersRetrop101" /> However, the writers enjoyed writing her dialogue so much that she was written into more episodes of the show, eventually making her one of the series' recurring actors.<ref name="CheersRetrop101" />

Neuwirth's character Lilith eventually married [[Frasier Crane]] ([[Kelsey Grammer]]). From the [[Cheers season 4|fourth]] to the [[Cheers season 9|ninth season]], Neuwirth portrayed Lilith in a regular recurring role, and she appeared on the show as a main star for both seasons [[Cheers season 10|ten]] and [[Cheers season 11|eleven]]. Like Kelsey Grammer when he started on the show as Frasier, she was not immediately given star billing in the opening credits but in the end credits for seasons [[Cheers season 8|eight]] and nine, appearing in the opening credits with her own portrait in seasons ten and eleven. She auditioned for the role with her arm in a sling, following a fall a week earlier. She won two [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series|Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series]] for the role, in 1990 and 1991. The character also made an appearance in the series ''[[Wings (1990 TV series)|Wings]]'' and in twelve episodes of the ''Cheers'' spin-off ''[[Frasier]]'', which earned her a 1995 Emmy Award nomination for [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series|Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series]] at the [[47th Primetime Emmy Awards]]. She left ''Cheers'' in 1993 to go back to her career in dancing, but would make more television appearances in other shows and commercials.<ref name="CheersRetrop102">Bjorklund, p. 102.</ref>
