Two and a Half Men star Conchata Ferrell recently suffered a heart attack.

Her husband Arnie Anderson told TMZ that the actress, known for playing Charlie Sheen's beloved housekeeper Berta on the CBS sitcom, was hospitalized in May after feeling ill. She spent more than four weeks in the ICU, during which time she went into cardiac arrest at one point, which Anderson said lasted for about 10 minutes.

Ferrell, 77, was recently transferred to a long-term care facility, Anderson said, and is on a respirator and dialysis. Though her condition is stable, she is semi-conscious and unable to speak or communicate, TMZ reports.
