Jobeth Williams

Williams has publicly discussed her attempts to become pregnant. After four miscarriages, she and her husband decided to adopt.

"I think women are particularly well-equipped. They tend to be more aware of people's feelings, what's going on around them . . . Particularly as a mother--I run a household, I raise two children, I want to get these guys to do what I need them to do in a way where they'll be happy. And that's a tremendous amount of directing skill." --Williams on her directorial debut in Los Angeles Times Calendar, September 26, 1995.
