Memories From the Set: Charlotte Ross on "The 5 Mrs. Buchanans"
This CBS sitcom followed four women who shared one monster of a mother-in-law, played by Emmy and Oscar winner Eileen Heckart (who passed in 2001).
"Loved Eileen Heckart, bless her soul. She was amazing," Ross warmly recalls. "I was the youngest of all the females, and in Judith Ivey and Harriet Sansom Harris and Beth Broderick you had these really seasoned sitcom/comedy actresses, so I was just a sponge to watch and learn from them."
Very interestingly, after playing Bree on this Marc Cherry co-created comedy, years later Cherry would tell Ross, "I created the role of Bree on Desperate Housewives for you, but you were on NYPD Blue!"
