The six-time Emmy winner tells BuzzFeed News about the highs, lows, and insane experiences she’s encountered in her 25-year career.
Mom (2013)
Janney achieved a rare feat and won a second Emmy in 2014: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for playing addict-in-rocky-recovery Bonnie on the CBS sitcom. The show, co-starring Anna Faris as Bonnie’s daughter Christy, navigates a fine line between comedy and drama as the big laughs are countered with poignant storylines that tackle everything from abortion to cancer to addiction relapse.
“This writing on this show gives us so much to do as actors, which is more rewarding and real. When people ask if I like doing comedy or drama more, I say that I like to do things like this. Real life is messy and complicated and that’s the most fun stuff to play. I love playing Bonnie. She’s so selfish and bawdy and doesn’t give a **** what anybody thinks about her. Plus, it’s such a nice schedule and I love Anna so much. I really like this job a lot.”
