No one had a better spring and summer thanJean Smart.
The actress made memorable back-to-back appearances on HBO’s “Mare of Easttown” and “Hacks.”
Sadly, Gilliland died unexpectedly in March, while Smart was filming “Hacks.”

“Him passing away was just not ever even a thought.
Smart and Gilliland shared two kids, and Smart credited her husband with doing a lot of the parenting.
In fact, it was the couple’s children that gave Smart the motivation to overcome one particular hurdle.

Smart, a former smoker, also gave up cigarettes as soon as she learned she was pregnant.
However, the actress did allow herself the occasional cigarette.
“But I’ll still smoke in a movie.
(However, chips and wine doesn’t sound like such a bad combination.)
Smart also confessed to letting herself enjoy the simple things in life, like cheese.
I think it’s your body telling you something,” she added.
