Kathryn Joosten won another Emmy! Now you may be saying "Who exactly is Kathryn Joosten?" Well, she has come in many memorable, supporting characters. She first came to my attention as the sharp-tongued Mrs. Landingham on The West Wing. Though in the scene below she's an incredibly sympathetic mother going to honor her boys at another vet's funeral.
I also saw her on an early episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where she played the spooky housemother of lots of ghosty kids.
And now she's been honored with ANOTHER Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a comedy series! Now that you know who she is, you'll see her everywhere!

I loved her as Mrs. Landingham! Which episode of Buffy was that?
She was in "Where the Wild Things Are".
Plus if you look at her IMDB profile, she's had a guest spot in EVERYTHING.

I love her character in Desperate Housewives too. I remember when the storm episode was coming up, and they kept making it look in the teasers like they were going to kill her character. I was so bummed, and then it turned out to be a bait and switch. Hooray, only had to get through her death as Mrs. Landingham. Still get to enjoy her on Wysteria Lane. ;-) (Unless she's dead in the new season -- oh, no!)
