My Take

JoBeth Williams is one of those quietly essential actresses of the early 1980s who somehow never got the full credit she deserved — and I will never stop being annoyed about that. She held her own against Dustin Hoffman in Kramer vs. Kramer, survived the chaos of Poltergeist with raw, believable terror that made the whole haunted-house premise land, and then turned around and anchored The Big Chill as part of one of the best ensemble casts ever assembled. The Day After is genuinely traumatizing TV in the best way, and she is a big reason why. A Brown University grad who never coasted on looks or hype, Williams brought a grounded, intelligent warmth to every role — the kind of actress you trust completely the moment she walks on screen.
