1 | I was raised in cities but I was raised in Texas, so there's a certain amount of connection to the earth. |
2 | I think a lot of the time, we don't give our family connections the kind of credit they deserve, like how important they are to us and how much they mean to us. I think family makes all the difference. |
3 | It was my first scene in any movie and my only scene in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979). I was petrified. |
4 | I've seen my own kids go through their own ups and downs, and as a mother, you want to make it better. |
5 | I would like, certainly, to do different things. |
6 | I was concerned about doing a sequel and repeating myself. That was before I read the script. |
7 | Larry Kasdan wanted us all there, all the time, even if we weren't filming. |
8 | I think there's a danger of a being typecast as the all-American mom forever. |
9 | I wanted to play the part that Mary Kay played, the lawyer who wanted to have baby and felt her clock ticking, because it was something I could relate to. |
10 | I felt they had really moved the characters in a direction that was very interesting. The family had really felt the impact of what had happened to the. |
11 | Now that I'm directing is where I've felt how difficult it is. Out of 200 or so movies made last year, only seven were directed by women. There's been an enormous leap of women producers and heads of studios, but strangely enough, those women haven't given other women a boost. It's very frustrating. |
12 | "I live in a town where if you're a woman over 40, you're really passé. In the movies, a Sean Connery can get Catherine Zeta-Jones as a love interest. But Shirley MacLaine can't have Billy Crudup as a boyfriend". |

1 | Williams chose "Gone with thee Wind" as her favorite film for an AFI poll. |
2 | Co-starred with Craig T. Nelson in 3 films: Poltergeist (1982), Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) and Stir Crazy (1980). |
3 | She was inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame on March 10, 2006 in Austin, Texas. The other inductees were Matthew McConaughey, Kris Kristofferson, Cybill Shepherd and Lyle Lovett. |
4 | Her very first television role was on the Boston produced, first run syndicated children's television series; Jabberwocky (1977). The show featured live actors, puppets, musical numbers, and cartoon segments. Williams joined the cast of "Jabberwocky" in season two, replacing Joanne Sopko, the first season hostess, partnered with Tucker Smallwood, director/host. The show ran until 1978. |
5 | Jobeth's part in The Dogs of War (1980) was significantly cut in the American version released but much less so in the British version. Steven Spielberg happened to catch the unedited version in London and immediately cast her as the down-to-earth mom whose family is tormented by apparitions in Poltergeist (1982). |
6 | Supposedly turned down the lead in the sitcom Murphy Brown (1988), which had been created by Diane English with JoBeth in mind. |
7 | Mother, with John Pasquin, of two sons: Nick Pasquin and Will Pasquin. |
8 | JoBeth Williams earned an Academy Award nomination for her directorial debut of On Hope (1994) for Showtime. |
9 | Graduated from Brown University. |
