I have some ideas for SNL! For week one, they should have a Designing Women sketch with Annie Potts and Delta Burke reprising their roles and Michael Myers as Linda Richman filling in for the late Dixie Cater as Julia Sugarbaker. Imagine the rants she could give in 2024.
Then, I would have Ariana Grande and Stevie Nicks sing Landslide as a duet. I would also like to see Nicks recreate the above bit! How funny would that be?
Annie Potts has had an amazing 45-year career that includes roles in Pretty in Pink, Designing Women, Any Day Now, and Young Sheldon.
But today, she hit a career high because she is a diaper. Well, thankfully, it is not her face on babies’ butt. Instead, it is her character, Bo Peep, from the Toy Story franchise.
So now her grandson is going to be the cool kid in nursery school because all the girls are wearing his grandma’s face on their tushies.
Before Jean Smart was living in Atlanta in Designing Women, she lived in LA on Another World. She looks the same now as she did when she was 29 on that 1981 episode.
Jean Smart was smart about her health, and because of that, she is recuperating from a heart procedure.
“February is American Heart Month—a time when the nation spotlights heart health, so it feels important to share with all of you that I am recovering from a recent, successful heart procedure,” the actress wrote. “I am fortunate to have excellent professional care and support from family and friends while I continue to recuperate. Please listen to your body and talk to your doctor- I’m very glad I did!”
As are we because she is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs.
Smart was filming the third season of Hacks when all of this happened. So, production on the Emmy-winning series is on hiatus until March 12th so that she can get better, according to Deadline.
Before Annie Potts was a memaw on Young Sheldon, she was unmarried and pregnant in Black Market Baby. How beautiful was the 24-year-old in that 1977 telemovie?
