Lisa Edelstein (/ˈliːsə ˈɛdəlstiːn/; born May 21, 1966)[1] is an American actress and artist. She is known for playing Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the Fox medical drama series House (2004–2011). Between 2014 and 2018, Edelstein starred as Abby McCarthy in the Bravo series Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce. Cuddy first knew of House when she was at the University of Michigan while he was at medical school. House keeps working hard at the relationship, but often his extraordinary efforts bring forward extraordinary screw ups. Nevertheless, House humbles himself and Cuddy remains forgiving.

Cuddy supports Vogler, but when Wilson refuses to go along, Wilson is tossed off the board and House is given a one day reprieve. Cuddy is ready the next day to vote against House, but when House pulls off not one, but two miracles in that period, she refuses to go along. Vogler moves to have her tossed off the board, but she gives an impassioned speech to the rest of the board and instead of voting against her, they toss Vogler off the board instead. House, Wilson, and the team are elated, but with the loss of $100,000,000, Cuddy realizes there's nothing to celebrate.
Final Episode Appearance
Cuddy and Wilson insist House agree to a deal to keep his license and keep out of prison. When House refuses, his Vicodin is cut back, then cut off. When House still manages to outperform them, Wilson feels regret and withdraws his support for the deal. However, in his desperation, House steals a patient's oxycodone and once again finds himself in court.

However, when a health scare gets House wondering whether he has the courage to make it through the bad times, he turns back to Vicodin in order to get the courage to be at Cuddy's bedside. Even when the problem turns out to be harmless, Cuddy realizes House went back on drugs and breaks up with him. The relationship hits another hitch when House finally meets Cuddy's mother Arlene. The two take an immediate dislike to each other even though Arlene presses both of them to formalize their relationship.

Early life
House frequently ignores or works around Cuddy's instructions. He has often exposed the hospital to unlimited liability, and has a habit of alienating important donors to the hospital. However, Cuddy is frequently reminded how much better a doctor House is than she is. She admires House for his ability to ignore emotional considerations when a patient's life is on the line, and his persistence in acting for the patient's best interests. House describes Cuddy as "a control seeking narcissist" which ironically, is a perfect description of himself.
She quit her job as Dean of Medicine the day after House crashed into her house with his car and escaped to avoid responsibility for his actions. It is also possible that Cuddy's motives for keeping House around are a mirror image of House's reasons for tormenting Cuddy. House gets some unhealthy satisfaction out of evading or defying Cuddy's rules, and Cuddy seems to get the same satisfaction out of successfully imposing those rules on House. Meanwhile, Cuddy finds someone is stealing in accounting and, since she never learned how to use the yellow pages, turns to the only private detective she knows, Lucas.
Wilson actually told his ex-wife Bonnie to deny Cuddy the loft at every opportunity, in order to punish Cuddy for hurting House's feelings. Cuddy sticks to her guns as House descends into a daze of Vicodin, alcohol, hookers and bad behavior. However, when House marries a woman who needs a green card, Cuddy finds that although she promised herself it wouldn't get to her, she realizes that House has managed to hurt her because she still cares about him. Even Arlene makes one last desperate stab to get them back together, but when House sees through the attempt, she tells them both that they've given up their last chance. She tries to manipulate the contest by making a deal with Jeffrey Cole to get a shot to eliminate high-risk practitioner Lawrence Kutner, but House sees through it. Finally, she gives House an ultimatum to narrow his choices down to two.

During their argument, Cuddy tells him that she doesn't love him and to move on. Afterwards she is sent to the hospital but on the way she dies due to a fat embolism, caused by the amputation. With the pain he is dealing with, Hanna's death, and what Cuddy said to him earlier, when House arrives home he rips the bathroom mirror off the wall to get his stash of Vicodin.
House says that Cuddy hired him because, for one night, he gave her everything she asked for. She tells him not to fool himself - he couldn't get hired anywhere and she picked him up cheap. Cuddy's relationship with House progressed throughout most of Season 7. In Episode 15, "Bombshells", Cuddy discovers blood in her urine.
In Help Me, Cuddy tells House that she and Lucas are engaged to be married. House accuses her of hiding their engagement from him stating that she wasn't wearing her engagement ring. She then tells him that the ring was in her desk drawer because she had to go help injured people in the crane accident they are both working at. She tells house she's "done" with him and having to always tip-toe around him to make sure he's okay.
In After Hours, House performed surgery on his own leg in his bathtub. After trying to call several other people but failing to get through, House called Cuddy and she arrived with Rachel to take him to the hospital. After this incident, Cuddy expressed a desire to fix their relationship as friends. Although Cuddy had been trying to become pregnant through in-vitro fertilization, she finally decides to adopt. She lines up an adoption with a young woman who admires how much Cuddy has accomplished, and when complications develop, Cuddy helps save the baby's life.
Lisa's portrayer, Lisa Edelstein, was demoted from the main cast. She did not appear in any of the episodes but was mentioned a few times through the course of the season. She also comes close to firing Thirteen when she finds her in the clinic taking IV fluids to recover from a late night of partying.
House deduces that Cuddy is on fertility medication and was thinking about asking Wilson to be her sperm donor. Cuddy is impressed by Foreman's early performance - most importantly because all the paperwork is being handed in on time. However, when a famous patient comes in while House is away, Cuddy reluctantly allows Foreman to handle the case himself.
A brief romantic past when she and House were students is alluded to, and House often makes lewd comments about her body and fashion choices. House implies that she often wears form-fitting, feminine clothing because she prioritizes her professional life and would otherwise be seen as a frigid, cold-hearted administrator. Dr. Lisa Cuddy was a major character on House for the first seven seasons.
As he gets ready to take the pills, Cuddy arrives just in time. She reveals to him that even though she was moving on with her life she can't stop thinking about him. She broke off her engagement to Lucas and tells House that she loves him and they kiss. He asks her if he is hallucinating this and she asks if he took the Vicodin. The recent events surrounding Eric Foreman's employment have given some insights into Cuddy's motivations. We can guess that although House has been fired several times, he may have, like Foreman, have been fired for saving the life of a patient at the expense of his job.
