    I grew up loving Jean Smart, watching reruns of Designing Women. I lost my mind when she showed up on 24! She was so good there. She's honestly incredible in everything she's in, but her recent run has been great and well-deserved. Her role in Mare of East town was probably my favorite because she was so dry and funny, but also super emotionally impactful. Her last conversation with Kate's character at the dinner table was understated and devastating.

    I really like Jean Smart in "Hacks" and did not know she voiced Phoebe's mom in "Hey Arnold!" until many years later. I think Smart's Deborah Vance and Hannah Einbinder's Ava have pretty good chemistry together. Ava and Deborah present intergenerational relatability and differences that cross into the real world. I notice both in my personal and professional life. They also cross color, sexuality, and other identity lines. I can't wait for season three of "Hacks."
