My Take

For me, Jane Kaczmarek will always be Lois from Malcolm in the Middle, and that's no small thing. Playing the harried, sharp-tongued matriarch of that chaotic household earned her three Golden Globe nods and seven Emmy nominations, which tells me critics saw the craft underneath the comedy. What I respect is the range she brought from a stage and theater background, with that University of Wisconsin-Madison grounding. It's easy to dismiss a sitcom mom as a one-note role, but she gave Lois real fire and warmth. Honestly, I think the show only worked because she anchored it the way she did.
