Curtis, who plays matriarch Donna Berzatto in The Bear, shared an emotional post featuring her on-screen daughter, Abby Elliott. “FINISHED STRONG,” she wrote, and added, "surrounded by an extraordinary crew and group of writers and producers and scene partners on the show that Chris Storer created, completing the story of this extraordinary family that we have all fallen in love with. Got to finish it out with my baby Berzatto bear, @lilcutieforever @thebearfx (sic)."

She called it a "great show" and feels "very lucky to have been asked to play Donna."
