Jean Smart Unmasked

2All season long in 24, I've been recognizing President Logan's wife from somewhere, but I couldn't remember where--it's been bugging hell out of me. Well, I finally realized where I've seen her!

Her name is Jean Smart, and she played Mark's mom Carol in Garden State! What a wacky role reversal! "Mark, don't talk to him like that--he's a knight."

I'm glad Brokeback Mountain has taken so many nominations--it's good.

that's like the least of the stuff she's done. she's old and she's been in TONS of stuff. Great detective work though!

Lizzie, I think he's too young to remember Designing Women. pfft.....

Dammit, I was going to point out the Designing Women role. How old are you?? I think I thought you were around my age, and I'm not too young for the DW.

Anywho. I hate president Logan. He is so damn spineless and such a whiney, horrible leader. I guess they needed some sort of change after the glorious integrity that was President Palmer. I hadn't watched last week's yet, so last night I watched it, and as usual, as it was wrapping up, I began to feel that familiar let down/impatience coming on--you know what I mean! But then, miracle of miracles, I remembered that it was last week's and that I already had the next show ready and waiting in my DVR list!!!
That was truly a Kodak moment. Or a Hallmark moment, maybe. :)

I'm going to pretend you're a girl for a minute and just add that I love the shirt Jack's wearing this season. Ok, here's your junk back. :)

Lizzie, Tara, and Lisa: I am NOT too young to rememer Designing Women! Delta Burke rocks (or, rather, rocked)!

She's not that old. Like 46 according to IMDB.

I guess I won't mention here how I find her somewhat attractive.

I am the proud owner of three Jean Smart movies: Garden State, I heart Huckabees, and Bringing Down the House.

I am also a loser.
