Her character will also be diagnosed with cancer
Anyone who has followed Jessica St. Clair's career knows that she's one of the funniest women in the business. Whether she's playing best friend and vice mommy in USA's Playing House or Forrest MacNeil's fed up wife in Comedy Central's Review, St. Clair has proven to be one of the best comediennes working today.
But as busy as St. Clair was and as prominent as she's been on our televisions over the last few years, she kept a big secret: She was diagnosed with stage 2b estrogen positive breast cancer in September 2015. In a touching post on Stand Up to Cancer's website, St. Clair revealed her diagnosis and her survival story, as well as explained that her entire turmoil will be replayed on Season 3 of Playing House. It's an excellent, emotional, funny read, and I encourage everyone -- whether cancer has affected your life in some way or not -- to read it.
In it, St. Clair discusses the fine doctors who helped save her life, the support system that held her up that included her husband and on-screen and real-life best friend Lennon Parham, and, most hilariously, her new boobs, which are a lot like her old boobs thanks to some great doctors.
