Shelley Lee Long (born August 23, 1949) is an American actress, best known for her role as Diane Chambers in the sitcom Cheers, for which she received five Emmy nominations, winning in 1983 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She also won two Golden Globe Awards for the role. Long reprised her role as Diane Chambers in four episodes of the spinoff Frasier, for which she received an additional guest star Emmy nomination.
From 2009 to 2012, she had a recurring role as DeDe Pritchett on the ABC comedy series Modern Family.
Long has also starred in several films, notably Night Shift (1982), her Golden Globe nominated role in Irreconcilable Differences (1984), The Money Pit (1986), Outrageous Fortune (1987), Hello Again (1987), Troop Beverly Hills (1989), The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), A Very Brady Sequel (1996) and Dr. T & the Women (2000).Shelley Long was born in Grandview, Indiana on August 23, 1949. She is the daughter of Evandine, a school teacher, and Leland Long, who worked in the rubber industry before becoming a teacher. She was active on her high school speech team, competing in the Indiana High School Forensic Association, and in 1967 she won the National Forensic League National Championship in Original Oratory. She delivered a speech on the need for sex education in high school entitled, "Sex Perversion Weed." After graduating from South Side High School in Fort Wayne, she studied drama at Northwestern University, but left before graduating to pursue a career in acting and modelling. Her first break as an actress occurred when she began doing commercials in the Chicago area.Undeterred, Long finally gained some real recognition when she memorably portrayed a hooker with the proverbial heart of gold in Ron Howard's directing debut, "Night Shift" (1982) opposite Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton. As Belinda Keaton, she was surprisingly appealing despite heavy eye make-up and the bottle blonde crimped hairdo she sported throughout the film. Now on a hot streak, she followed up with the comedy "Losin' It" (1983), one of the first movie roles for its young up-and-coming star, Tom Cruise. In the film, about a group of teenage boys' quest for a good time on a trip to Mexico, Long was a woman seeking a divorce who finds herself on the road with the rowdy crew. But it was on the small screen that Long received the biggest break of her career, where she was cast to play barmaid Diane Chambers on the Boston-set sitcom, "Cheers' (NBC, 1982-1993). Long's Diane was portrayed as upper class and erudite, standing in stark contrast to bar regulars like Norm (George Wendt) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger) as well as fellow employees Carla (Rhea Perlman), Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) and bar owner Sam Malone (Ted Danson).
For five seasons, Long played Diane Chambers to great appeal and fanfare, particularly in regard to her chemistry with Danson which propelled the show to the top of the ratings with their will-they-won't-they romance. Over those five seasons, Long received four Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and won a the award in 1983, the first year she was nominated. At the same time she triumphed on the small screen, Long's film career finally began to blossom. In 1984, she earned award recognition for her turn as a would-be writer who buries her ambitions when she marries another writer (Ryan O'Neal) whose own career takes off in "Irreconcilable Differences" (1984). Following that success, she starred opposite Tom Hanks in the critically maligned, but commercially successful comedy "The Money Pit" (1986) and maintained her box office appeal alongside Bette Midler in the hit comedy, "Outrageous Fortune" (1987). But with her film career in full swing and "Cheers" at the height of its popularity, Long decided to leave the show in 1987 to concentrate on features full time. Fans of Sam and Diane were disappointed and rumors swirled that her cast mates were not happy with her decision. But she was undeterred and after a tearful goodbye - when Diane backed out of her engagement to Sam - Long's days as "Cheers" series regular were over.
Expectations were high after she left her sitcom and Long failed to live up to them. Her first post-sitcom project, "Troop Beverly Hills," (1989) was a misguided effort that became a critical and commercial dud. With critics of her departure from "Cheers" relishing the failure, the actress suddenly found her popularity waning as she starred in other disasters like "Don't Tell Her It's Me" (1990) and "Frozen Assets" (1992). While Long was experiencing high-profile setbacks, her replacement Kirstie Alley, who played new bar manager Rebecca Howe, was welcomed by the cast, critics and fans as a more-than-suitable replacement for Diane Chambers. Although her departure from the show was rumored to have been less than amicable, Long returned for the highly-rated series finale in 1993, earning another Emmy nod - this time as a guest star - for reprising the pretentious Chambers. She would go on to play her iconic role again in several episodes of the popular spin-off "Frasier" (NBC, 1993-2004), which starred Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Frasier Crane, one of Diane's former suitors.
In an attempt to rescue her flagging career, Long chose to take on playing the 1970s most iconic mom, Carole Brady, in the big screen version of the popular series, "The Brady Bunch Movie" (1995). The move paid off as Long was once again cast in favorable light, while the film became a hit while riding a wave of growing interest in nostalgic television. Long followed up by playing the mom in the Disney Channel's version of "Freaky Friday" (1995), a made-for-television remake of the 1976 feature film original about a mother and daughter (Gaby Hoffmann) who switch bodies. She also began a successful series of guest turns, including appearances in episodes of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" (ABC, 1993-97), "Murphy Brown" (CBS, 1988-1998), "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (syndicated, 1996-2003) and "Diagnosis Murder" (CBS, 1993-2001), while reprising Carol Brady for "A Very Brady Sequel" (1996). Following a turn opposite Richard Gere in the less-than-successful Robert Altman film "Dr. T and the Women" (2000), Long returned to the small screen for occasional guest spots on "8 Simple Rules," (ABC, 2002-05) and "Strong Medicine" (Lifetime, 2000- ), but in general stayed under the radar.
Following another turn as Carol Brady, this time in the TV movie "The Brady Bunch in the White House" (Fox, 2002), Long surprised fans when personal troubles bubbled over in public, starting with her 2004 divorce from long-time second husband Bruce Tyson, whom she had married in 1981. Just months following her divorce, Long was rushed to UCLA Medical Center following an overdose of painkillers that were prescribed for a back injury. According to friends, she had been suffering from depression after Tyson walked out on their marriage, leading to unconfirmed speculation that her overdose was a suicide attempt. Following her recovery, Long appeared in episodes of "Boston Legal" (ABC, 2004-08) and "Yes, Dear" (CBS, 2000-06) while being featured in forgettable films like "Honeymoon with Mom" (2006) and "The Last Guy on Earth" (2006). In 2007, her personal struggled re-emerged as the star quietly admitted herself into an outpatient mental treatment facility, leading some tabloids to conclude that she was suffering from a mental collapse. Once again, Long recovered and resumed her career, starring in the holiday-themed TV movie "A Holiday Engagement" (Hallmark Channel, 2011) while delivering a hilarious turn as Jay's (Ed O'Neill) mentally unstable ex-wife in several episodes of "Modern Family" (ABC, 2009- 
Diane on the TV show Cheers
Shelley Long starred in the popular television comedy Cheers as the uptight waitress Diane Chambers.
