Sheen paid tribute, describing the late star as "an absolute sweetheart, a consummate pro, a genuine friend [and] a shocking and painful loss".
He wrote: "Berta, your housekeeping was a tad suspect, your 'people' keeping was perfect."

As well as Sheen, she acted opposite Jon Cryer and Angus T Jones. Cryer remembered meeting her for the first time. "She was a beautiful human, Berta's gruff exterior was an invention of the writers," he tweeted.
