The role initially went to Lisa Kudrow, but Kudrow was replaced by Peri Gilpin before filming began.[4] The character is named as a tribute to a producer of the television series Wings (having the same creators as Frasier), who died from breast cancer in 1991.[5][6]
Roz is originally from Bloomer, Wisconsin.[7] Her mother Joanna (Eva Marie Saint) was a longtime politician there and serves as Attorney General. She has a sister, Denise, whom she resents for her supposedly perfect life. Roz's parents are divorced. Her relationship with her father was good until he started dating a woman younger than her. She and Roz didn't get along and he cut contact with Roz. Her maternal grandmother was an immigrant from Ireland. Frustrated with small-town Wisconsin, Roz moved to Seattle as an adult to pursue a career in radio and worked in the industry for about 10 years before joining Frasier.[8]
Relationships with other characters
Early in the series, Roz and Frasier have a strained relationship. As the show goes on, they become very close, often consoling each other through hard times, although the teasing, sardonic element continues.
Roz becomes friends with Frasier's father Martin. While Frasier and Niles are interested in high culture, Roz and Martin share a more down-to-earth view of life. In Season 1, Episode 18 ("And the Whimper Is...") Martin greets her by asking, "Hey, Roz, how's my girlfriend?" when she drops by his apartment,[8] She is also seen at Martin's poker nights in Season 5.
Roz is also close to Martin's physical therapistDaphne Moon, as they are the only two women who are constant in the Crane men's lives. Daphne invites Roz to be a bridesmaid at her wedding to attorney Donny Douglas and is in turn invited to be the maid of honor at Daphne's wedding to Niles;[9] however, Daphne elopes with Niles in Reno, Nevada, and Roz is not present for their real wedding.[10]
Roz has an antagonistic relationship with Frasier's brother Niles early in the series, but they become quite friendly as the series progresses. In Season 11, Episode 8 ("Murder Most Maris"), Roz defends Niles when he has a nervous breakdown.[11]
Character arc
Roz is portrayed as a professional woman with an active sex life, which is the subject of male jokes and snide remarks, especially from Frasier's brother Niles. Roz worries about her appearance as she ages, and is concerned that she will never fall in love and get married. She has a brief fling with a co-worker, Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe (much to her later chagrin).
Early in the fifth season, Roz discovers that she is pregnant with the child of a 20-year-old college student with whom she had a brief fling.[12] By the end of the season, Roz gives birth to a girl, whom she names Alice.[13]
Late in the ninth season, Roz finally manages to maintain a seemingly stable relationship with Roger, a city trash collector, but they break up when they see that their relationship chemistry isn't right.[14] Frasier consoles her, and this eventually leads them to sleep together. Roz subsequently flees home to Wisconsin, while Frasier chases after her in an attempt to remedy the situation. Frasier ends up posing as Roger, whom the Doyle family had been very excited to meet, although previously being a bit skeptical that Roger was not merely a falsehood constructed by Roz (due to Roz's romantic history). It is here that Roz and Frasier reconcile, and agree to remain friends.[15]
In the show's final episode, Roz becomes station manager of KACL after the previous manager, Kenny Daly, decides to become a DJ again.[16]
