Katherine Helmond interview

Interview0 Comments

Helmond talks with The Associated Press and says that her role on Who’s the Boss? was originally supposed to be the sister of Angela, not the mother. They decided a mother-daughter duo would be better.

They read a lot of young ladies. But they felt it turned out to be kind of sour grapes. Each sister seemed a little envious of the other.

Helmond talks with The Associated Press, about how she is not quite like her Who’s the Boss? alter ego, Mona Robinson. Helmond is strong and confident and is in a marriage that has lasted 28 years.

In a lot of ways I’m like Mona. I’m not quite as blunt . . . not as wild as she is, but I’m straightforward and willing to take a risk.
