Elizabeth Natalie "Bitty" Schram (born July 17, 1968) is an American actress most widely known for having played Sharona Fleming in the television series Monk.

Born in Mountainside, New Jersey, Schram studied at the University of Maryland on a tennis scholarship and graduated with a degree in advertising design. Having known for a number of years that she wanted to act, she pursued roles in both film and television as well as Broadway theater. The role that initially brought her note was Evelyn Gardner, the Rockford Peaches' right fielder, in the Penny Marshall directed film A League of Their Own. Schram's character was the focus of the now famous line uttered by manager Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), "There's no crying in baseball!"

During 1993-95, she appeared in the original Broadway production of Neil Simon's Laughter on the 23rd Floor.

In 2002, Schram landed a major role opposite Tony Shalhoub on the USA Network series Monk. She was released mid-way through the show's third season. The network stated they had "decided to go in a different creative direction with some of its characters". MSNBC reported that "some members of the series' supporting cast, including Schram, Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford, attempted to renegotiate the terms of their contract[s]" and cited Schram's departure as evidence of the industry's "hard line against raise-seeking actors who aren't absolutely essential to the show." Levine and Gray-Stanford remained on the show. Natalie Teeger, played by Traylor Howard, replaced her character as Monk's assistant. Schram made a guest appearance on one episode of the show's eighth and final season, entitled "Mr. Monk and Sharona".

Biography

Elle a suivi des études à l'université du Maryland et n'a cessé de tourner des films et de participer à des séries depuis.

C'est une actrice qui a fait ses débuts aux côtés de Tom Hanks dans Une équipe hors du commun en 1992, où elle incarne le rôle d'Evelyn Gardner, une joueuse de baseball.

Son succès ne s'est pas démenti. Elle a été honorée par les critiques pour ses apparitions dans des films tels que
The Night we Never Met avec Matthew Broderick en 1993, Un beau jour avec Michelle Pfeiffer et George Clooney en 1996 ou encore, Kissing a Fool avec David Schwimmer en 1998.

En 2002, elle intègre la série Monk dans le rôle de Sharona Fleming. Elle tiendra ce rôle jusqu'en 2004 où elle quitta la série avant la fin de la saison 3 pour cause d'échec dans la renégociation de son contrat. Mais elle fera son grand retour dans la série, dans un épisode de la saison 8 intitulé Monk et Sharona, où elle apportera enfin une conclusion à son personnage.

Depuis, sa carrière tourne au ralenti. De ses rares apparitions on retiendra un épisode de Kitchen Confidential en 2005 et deux épisodes de la nouvelle série Thief en 2006.

Bitty Schram a été nommée en 2003 pour le Golden Globe de la meilleure actrice dans une série télévisée musicale ou comique pour son rôle de Sharona Fleming dans Monk.
