Check out the Emmy comedy nominees' memorable past roles.
[SIZE="2"]Jane Kaczmarek[/SIZE]
Nominated as
Lois, the frazzled, often frenzied mother of five high-strung boys on Malcolm in the Middle.
Also memorable as
Robyn, the more relaxed mother of just one boy (Fred Savage, left) in 1988 body-swap comedy Vice Versa.
What you'll recognize
Kaczmarek excels at exuding maternal energy, worrying over the details of her son's schedule as she leaves him with estranged hubby Judge Reinhold for a week.
What you won't
Maybe it's because she spends most of the movie on vacation from motherhood, but Robyn is missing the explosive edge of the volcanic Lois.
