Which actress played Martin's later wife Ronee Lawrence?

The story behind the answer

“Which actress played Martin's later wife Ronee Lawrence?” — Wendie Malick played Martin's later wife Ronee Lawrence.

Malick joined Frasier in its eleventh and final season as Ronee Lawrence, a Seattle lounge singer and pianist. Ronee is not a completely new stranger to the Crane family: she had been Frasier and Niles's childhood babysitter and had a history with Martin from their younger years.

Ronee and Martin begin a relationship after Frasier encounters her again. Their romance develops late in the series, making Ronee Martin's later partner after his earlier relationships and courtships. Malick's performance combines Ronee's musical career, confident personality, and long-standing connection to the Crane brothers.

The couple marry in “Goodnight, Seattle,” the series finale, which originally aired in 2004. The character is sometimes confused with Martin's earlier girlfriend Sherry Dempsey, played by Marsha Mason, or with Frasier's former romantic interests. Ronee Lawrence is specifically Martin's eventual wife.
