“Look at you. You’re a boy king. You’re a foot smarter than the smartest kid in the class. You’re blessed with inspiration. You must know this by now. You must have sensed it. Look, if you think we’re wrong—if you think Mr. Hopkins should honestly get paid more than Mrs. Chadwick, then I respect that. But if you think we’re right and you won’t speak up because you can’t be bothered, then God, Jed, I don’t even want to know you.”

Rest in piece, Kathryn Joosten. You will always be remembered.

Though she won two Emmys for her work on Desperate Housewives, I’ve always felt this scene, from The West Wing’s season 1 episode “In Excelsis Deo,” to be Kathryn Joosten’s best work. 

God, this scene!

“But the souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God. No torment shall ever touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of immortality.”

Emmy winner Kathryn Joosten, whose emotional death scene as Karen McKluskey gave Desperate Housewives‘ recent series finale its biggest emotional punch, died yesterday of lung cancer in Westlake Village, CA. She was 72.

Heartbroken. Rest in peace. You’ll always be Mrs. Landingham to me.

And me. Rest in peace.

And me :’(

Toby: Mrs. Landingham, does The President have free time this morning?
Mrs. Landingham: The President has nothing but free time, Toby. Right now he's in The Residence eating Cheerios and enjoying Regis and Kathie Lee. Should I get him for you?
Toby: Sarcasm's a disturbing thing coming from a woman of your age, Mrs. Landingham.
Mrs. Landingham: What age would that be, Toby?
Toby: Late twenties?
Mrs. Landingham: Atta boy.
Toby: Can I have a cookie?
Mrs. Landingham: No.

Saddened about the passing of Kathryn Joosten #MrsLandingham #TheWestWing it was an honor to work with you and an even greater honor knowing you Kathryn. #RIP
