Ben Stiller has offered a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Anne Meara, saying that he and his family are “so lucky to have had her in our lives.”
The “Zoolander” actor also thanked the public for their “kind words” about Meara, who died Saturday at age 85.
“Thank you so much for all the kind words about Anne,” Stiller wrote early Monday on Twitter. “All of us in our family feel so lucky to have had her in our lives.”
Actress and comedian Anne Meara was the wife and performing partner of Ben’s father Jerry Stiller, who performed with the elder Stiller as Stiller & Meara on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and other programs in the 1960s.
