Sharon Lawrence: TV Guide News

Grey's Anatomy Preview: Izzie's Mom Storms Seattle! | Today's News: Our Take | 4/29/2009
This week on ABC's Grey's Anatomy (Thursday, 9 pm/ET), as if cancer-stricken Izzie didn't have enough to contend with, her mother, Robbie, makes tracks from the trailer park to Seattle Grace — and unannounced, at that. NYPD Blue alumna Sharon Lawrence shared a look at her, um, "colorful" guest-starring turn.

TVGuide.com: I want to start off by saying that I for one did not buy you as someone old enough to be Katherine Heigl's mother.
Sharon Lawrence: [Laughs] Well, think about it the way I did when they offered me the role. Like Izzie, she got knocked up when she was 16! Like mother, like daughter — there's absolute legitimacy in that.

TVGuide.com: Plus, Robbie doesn't fancy herself as being old enough either.
Lawrence: Well, no, she's an eternal child down deep ... and right there on the surface too!

TVGuide.com: Is Izzie happy to get this surprise visit from her mom?
Lawrence: No, she has no idea that ... read more 9 Comments

And Things Start to Heat Up.... | Celebrity Blogs | 6/19/2007
Hello, all you Hidden Palms fans! My, but you are an exclusive lot. Perhaps a tad too exclusive. That might be why the network is now showing two episodes (that’s right, two original episodes back-to-back!) this Wednesday and next Wednesday, in the hopes that they can ignite Hidden Palms fever by the time our finale airs on July 4. (Cue fireworks here.)That being said, I deeply appreciate all your comments and votes of confidence and will continue to blog no matter what. Or at least until TV Guide tells me to stop. Which might happen on July 5. We’ll see. Anyway, let’s talk about our two upcoming episodes. I think you will enjoy them for the following reasons:1. The mystery surrounding Eddie’s death deepens.2. The adults start to become more of a factor in the developing events. Trust me, this is a good thing. Kids misbehaving is one thing, but when the adults go naughty, it’s a hoot!So, here's the scoop:• Cliff finally has it out with his mom’s sl... read more
"It's ladies' night/And the feeling's... | Today's News: Our Take | 9/2/2005
"It's ladies' night/And the feeling's right/Oh, yes, it's ladies' night/Oh, what a night...." With this song stuck in my head, play gets under way with an all-female cast of quasi-celebs who are ready for some cable-approved humor and good, old-fashioned gamblin'. And Dave Foley's goofy humor really seems to go over well with the gals, even when he references his own menstrual cycle. Tonight it was Ricki Lake, Sharon Lawrence, Kathryn Morris, Kathy Najimi and Caroline Rhea in a battle to see who could play her cards right. Now usually there are some overshares in the personal-information arena on this show, mostly in attempts at humor or to distract opponents. But tonight's odd comment comes from poker-pro Phil Gordon, who admitted — jokingly, I think — that he once dressed in drag to compete in a ladies-only tourney. I hope he was kidding, because he would make kind of a terrifying woman with his nearly 7-foot-tall s read more
