In House M.D., Dr. Cuddy's first name is Lisa.
Lisa Cuddy is the hospital administrator who supervises Gregory House and often attempts to contain the risks created by his unconventional diagnostic methods. She is an endocrinologist by training and becomes Dean of Medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Her authority frequently clashes with House's independence, but she also recognizes his unusual diagnostic value.
The character was played by Lisa Edelstein. The shared first name between actor and character is a common source of confusion, especially because viewers may remember the surname more readily. Cuddy's professional title changes as the hospital's leadership structure develops, but her role as House's principal institutional opponent and supporter is consistent through much of the series.
