Have adored her since Designing Women in the 80s. In that show she was capable of making you belly laugh & well up within seconds of each other. That's how well written that show was, and how talented Jean Smart is.

I watch Designing Women to this day. Jean was so good as the sweet and naive Charlene that it was a shock to me the first time I saw in a different role as Aileen Wournous (sp?) She is so versatile and talented and the respectful she speaks of her colleagues speaks volumes about her!

I wish Jean Smart and Delta Burke would guest star on "Young Sheldon" in a (sub)plot with Annie Potts' Meemaw. It'd be another "Designing Women" reunion, but the characters make tongue in cheek comments about the show and characters while watching a rerun of it in the closing scene.

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.
