Two and a Half Men star Conchata Ferrell 'fighting for life' after heart attack

Two and a Half Men star Conchata Ferrell is fighting for her life after suffering a heart attack.

The 77-year-old star, who played housekeeper Berta, has been battling health issues since last year after suffering a life-threatening kidney and blood infection.

According to TMZ Conchata suffered a cardiac arrested during a four week stay at a hospital intensive care unit.

She was hospitalised back in December but has now been moved to a long-term care facility.

Her husband Arnie Anderson said: "It's going to be a while before there's any recovery. It's all neurological.

"There's nothing we can do to speed it up the process. We are hoping for the best."

Arnie said Conchata is "stable and semi-conscious" but cannot speak and is only "semi-aware" of her surroundings.

He is unable to visit his wife due restrictions on visiting hours put in place amid the coronavirus pandemic.

But he says he is able to speak to her nurse daily.

Conchata had been at her holiday home in Charleston, West Virginia in December when she began to feel "weak and frail."

She was then diagnosed with a kidney infection that had spread and begun to contaminate her blood.

The actress was kept in the ICU for several weeks before she was released into transitional care in January.

Conchata and Arnie married in 1986 and the pair share a daughter named Samantha, 38.

She is best known for her role as Berta in CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.

She received two Emmy nominations while appearing on the show.
