Exec producer Jake Kasdan, who previously worked with Margo Martindale on the John C. Reilly movie Walk Hard: The Dewie Cox Story, personally asked that she play Nick Miller’s mother Bonnie.

She obliged, but was thrown off guard when she got to set. “When I got there, they told me I had to do a Chicago accent,” she recalls. “‘A Chicago accent?! Why didn’t you tell me that before I got here?’ So Zooey Deschanel coached me, and I think I got it. And then I got to sing ‘In the Ghetto’ [at Walt’s Elvis-themed funeral], and it was really fun. What a great show!”
