In a White House of people filled with self-importance, Joosten’s character took them down to size, and reminded them who they should be working for. Schlamme said he and Aaron Sorkin, the series’ creator, saw a chance to explore in flashback style the relationship between Martin Sheen’s President Bartlet and his father through the woman who worked for both of them. “The West Wing” is appealing for its idealized vision of how the nation’s government should work. Viewers in the United Kingdom first saw her onscreen death the day after her real life passing. She was then nominated for a fourth Emmy, this time for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2012. Kathryn Joosten (December 20, 1939 – June 2, 2012)[4] was an American television actress. It wasn’t a contractual tiff, either. She played Aunt Jackie in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel in 2009. “There’s only one reason you get called into the producer’s office,” she said, “and that’s because they’re going to kill you off.”. He and Sorkin were both surprised, though, at the anger and disappointment expressed by the show’s fans. Joosten wasn’t demanding more money or more screen time. Her Mrs. McCluskey got to utter some of the dramedy’s best lines (“We going for drinks or mammograms?” she once said to Nicollette Sheridan’s Edie, after giving her clevage-baring outfit a once-over), and earned Joosten the Outstanding Guest Actress Emmy in 2005 and 2008. Kathryn Joosten, the Emmy-winning actress best known as the irascible Karen McCluskey on Desperate Housewives and President Bartlet’s trusty secretary Mrs. Landingham on The West Wing, died Friday, June 1, of lung cancer. “But it’s been tremendous for me. It was The West Wing, though, that solidified her spot as a beloved character actress. [citation needed], Joosten made a guest appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful on February 7, 2011, as part of the show's 6,000th episode, which featured several other real-life lung cancer survivors discussing their experiences with two of the show's characters, played by Susan Flannery and Jack Wagner, who were dealing with lung cancer. “I’ve got a little hang up here,” she told People.com. Coincidentally, her guest roles on My Name is Earl and Grey's Anatomy revolved largely around her character attempting to quit smoking. [11] In 2007, in an appearance on The View, she revealed that she was in remission from lung cancer, after many years of chain smoking (which she had by then quit). The actress, who has portrayed presidential secretary Dolores Landingham for the two seasons “The West Wing” has been on the air, knew exactly what was coming earlier this spring when she was told the show’s producer wanted to see her. [10] However, the series did not proceed. She was promoted to a member of the regular cast in Season 6. In 1992, she was hired as a street performer working for the Disney-MGM Studios theme park at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
