They had a fulfilling career till their decline when variety series gradually disappeared. Their own 1986 TV sitcom, The Stiller and Meara Show, in which Stiller played the deputy mayor of New York City and Meara portrayed his wife, a TV commercial actress, was not widely received by audiences.

The couple was married from 1954 until the day of Anne’s death on May 23, 2015. She was born Roman Catholic but converted to Judaism after she married Jerry. Meara claimed that it was not prompted by her marriage but by the fact that she was done with being a Roman Catholic. She was so devout that Jerry actually said that she made him a better Jew.

Upon her death, no exact cause of death was cited, but it is assumed that she passed away after a period of brief illness. Prior to Meara’s death in 2015, the duo were starring in a web series from Red Hour Digital, in which they discussed current topics.
