Marie Schrader (née Lambert) is a fictional character portrayed by Betsy Brandt in the American crime drama series Breaking Bad. She is Skyler White's sister, Hank's wife, and Walter White's sister-in-law.
In the series, Marie works as a radiologic technologist. She does not hesitate to offer advice to others but often fails to practice what she preaches. She shoplifts compulsively—apparently a manifest symptom of kleptomania—a behavior for which she sees a therapist. She appears self-centered and shallow but cares deeply for her husband and her sister's family. Nearly all of her household and clothing items are shades of the color purple. Brandt returned to the role in a guest appearance in the series finale of the spin-off series Better Call Saul.
