Everything about Bitty Schram totally explained

Elizabeth Natalie "Bitty" Schram is a Golden Globe nominated American actress.
   Known for her role as Evelyn, the baseball-playing mother who makes the mistake of crying in front of manager Tom Hanks during a baseball game in Penny Marshall's A League of Their Own (1992), Bitty Schram also played Sharona Fleming in the award-winning TV series Monk (2002–2004) for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe.

Biography

Career

Born in Mountainside, New Jersey, Bitty Schram studied at the University of Maryland on a tennis scholarship and graduated with a degree in advertising design. Having known for numerous years that she wanted to act, she pursued roles in both film and television as well as Broadway theater. The role that initially brought her note was Evelyn Gardner in the Penny Marshall directed film, A League of Their Own. Schram's character was the focus of the now famous line, "There's no crying in baseball!"
   In 2002, Schram landed the lead role opposite Tony Shalhoub on the USA comedy series Monk. With a knack for comedy, she helped turn the show into a hit. USA Network released her mid-way through the show's third season stating they wanted to take the character in new directions. Some theorize, however, that her bid for a salary increase was met by termination. Sharona's character was replaced by Natalie Teeger, played by Traylor Howard.
   Schram is an accomplished stage actress. She appeared as one of the original cast members in Neil Simon's hit Broadway production Laughter on the 23rd Floor with Nathan Lane. Bitty has worked with many household name actors such as Tom Hanks, Michelle Pfeiffer, George Clooney, Diane Keaton, and Kathy Bates.
