#11: Monica Horan as Amy MacDougall-Barone
Paid est. $100,000 per episode
Amy was Robert’s kind-hearted, slightly awkward girlfriend-turned-wife who brought balance to the Barone chaos. Her patience, faith, and soft-spoken charm made her a lovable contrast to Marie’s overbearing ways. Amy’s sweet nature and gentle humor gave the show’s later seasons warmth and stability amid the family’s constant bickering.

Before Everybody Loves Raymond, Monica Horan worked primarily in theater and small TV roles. Her natural chemistry with Brad Garrett and easy comedic presence made Amy feel authentic and relatable. She played the perfect “outsider” learning to survive — and eventually thrive — in the loud, loving Barone clan.
