Well, this is Hollywood.
Jane Curtin, the great comic actress from “SNL” and “Kate and Allie,” is 75 years old. So it makes no sense that she will play the mother of a 68 year old actress on “The Conners.”
This is hilarious. Curtin will be the mother to Katy Sagal’s Louise, Dan Conner’s second wife, on “The Conners” spin off. That would mean she gave birth to Louise at age 7.
I guess Louise would have to have a mother between 85 and 95, and there aren’t many actresses available in that age group. Estelle Getty was much younger than her “Golden Girls” character and carried it off with aplomb. I doubt Curtin is going to dress up as a 90 year old.
