Emmy-winning actress, also known for ‘West Wing,’ died of lung cancer Friday. By Jocelyn Vena Kathryn Joosten Photo: Imeh Akpanudosen/ Getty Images Kathryn Joosten, star of hit shows like “Desperate Housewives” and “The West Wing,” died Friday at age 72. The Emmy-winning actress lost her decade-long battle with lung cancer, and a rep told TMZ she was surrounded by family when she passed. She was originally diagnosed with the disease in 2001 and it returned in 2009. “Kathryn passed away this morning after a valiant fight against her cancer,” her rep, told E! News . “Her family was with her. Funeral arrangements are pending. This is a terrible loss, and she fought as hard as she could.” Most recently she was known for playing Wisteria Lane’s very own Karen McCluskey on the hit ABC prime-time dramedy “Desperate Housewives.” Her role on the show earned her two Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series Emmys, in 2005 and 2008. She was nominated again in 2010. By her third nomination, she had been promoted to a series regular despite the Guest Actress nod from the Emmys. Her character died in the final season of the show, which ended last month. Before hanging with the glamorous ladies on “Housewives,” she starred on the political drama “The West Wing” as President Bartlet’s (Martin Sheen) secretary Dolores Landingham. She was on the show for three seasons, from 1999 to 2002. Her other credits include “Dharma & Greg,” “Becker,” Roseanne,” “NYPD Blue” and “Family Matters.” Her rise to fame came late in life. The Florida native decided to pursue an acting career at age 42 in the 1980s after taking classes in Chicago, where she was a psychiatric nurse at the Michael Reese Hospital. She learned her craft at Chicago’s famed Steppenwolf Theatre and also did theater in the Windy City for some time. Share your condolences for Joosten’s family and friends in the comments below.
Co-stars Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer triumph in actress categories, while ‘Artist’ star edges out George Clooney for Best Actor. By Kevin P. Sullivan Octavia Spencer, Viola Davis and Brad Pitt onstage at the SAG awards on Sunday Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images A surprise win for “The Help” for Best Ensemble capped off a rather predictable night at the SAG Awards on Sunday (January 29). The adaptation of the best-selling novel picked up individual awards for both Octavia Spencer, who won Best Supporting Actress, and Viola Davis, who won Best Actress. The rest of the Screen Actors Guild Awards were dominated by category favorites. Christopher Plummer kicked off the night with another win to add his impressive amount of gold for his role in “Beginners.” The legendary actor expressed his job satisfaction by stating, “I can’t tell you what fun I’ve had being a member of the world’s second oldest profession.” A mild shock came in the Best Actor category for film, when French actor Jean Dujardin edged out George Clooney for his role in the awards favorite “The Artist.” The silent ode to the golden era of filmmaking had been a favorite for the evening’s biggest categories, but huge wins from “The Help” stole the thunder from the Oscar favorite. Past winners in the TV categories took the stage at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium as repeat winners. Betty White seemed more confused than anyone when she won the award for Best Actress in a comedy series for the second year in a row. The cast of “Modern Family” stormed the stage with a painfully pre-rehearsed acceptance speech for Best Comedy Series, and Steve Buscemi took to the mic twice for wins in the Best Actor in a Drama Series and Best Drama series categories for “Boardwalk Empire.” Other winners in the television categories included Alec Baldwin for “30 Rock” and Jessica Lange for “American Horror Story.” Kate Winslet and Paul Giamatti won their respective categories for actors in a TV movie or miniseries.

Of all the current Saturday Night Live cast members, Fred Armisen seems like the least likely to spin-off one of his Studio 8H characters for the box office. Not necessarily because he hasn’t been given the opportunity — after Will Forte’s disastrous MacGruber though, who could blame movie studios for not trying? — but because Armisen, who Lorne Michaels described as “an artist, not a careerist,” seems genuinely content to be part of Saturday Night Live ‘s ensemble cast. So it is a little surprising to see that after nine seasons with the show, the self-described “short-sighted” actor has gone ahead and created a new sketch comedy series for the IFC called Portlandia , which co-stars Sleater-Kinney founder Carrie Brownstein.
The jury is still out on whether Ricky Gervais conquered last night’s monologue or if Glee deserved to win Best Comedy Series, but there was one group that unquestionably swept last night’s 68th Annual Golden Globes: Bedheaded celebrities. Take a look at some of the most (expertly) tousled tresses that traveled in limos to the Beverly Hilton last night and then please, let me know: Are Hollywood hair stylists on strike? Thanks.
