    Lois or Constance Harm? Yep, it's all the Jane that I liked! hide show

    Jane Kaczmarek is a very talented actress! I've learned to know her on the show 'Malcolm in the Middle' were she plays the outspoken, opinionated mom, who still manages to rule the roost even though her boys are growing wise to her crafty ways. I just love her in that role.
    I was very surprised when I find out on her biography, that she also did the voice in few episodes of 'The Simpsons'. In 'The Simpsons' she is some kind of 'Judge Judy'-parody, you know: the tv-judge with the most terrible lawsuits. But however, I also loved here to see her in that role as judge Constance Harm!

    I was moved to write this review because I just finished an article about Jane in the ARP magazine. It was about the Clothes Off Our Back Fondation and how she started it. This wonderful organization has helped so many. hide show

    My family has watched Jane's career for about 15 years. We share a last name you see. Her Kaczmarek spelling is a little simpler than our Kaczmarzyk but it is pronounced the same. When my daughter Deb lived in NY & was looking at an apt. the manager thought she was Jane's relative and we became aware of her accomplishments. Malcolm In The Middle is a favorite. This article just pointed out what an outstanding human being she is as well as an accomplished actress. I just married the name but I am proud of it along and with the rest of my family we want to say "You Go Girl".

    The Arp magazine featured a portrait that portrayed how well Jane wears the lovely dresses that go on to be sold to benefit children worldwide. No fancy clothing wasted with Jane in the picture. She proves to be beautiful on the outside too.

    Congratulations on your work Jane Kaczmarzyk from Jeanine Kacmarzyk and the rest of the family from the Wausau area in Central WI.

    She does great as Lois in "Malcolm in the Middle", but I haven't known her to be in anything else. hide show

    Jane Kaczmarek does a great job playing the character of Lois in the sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle." Other than voicing Judge Harm on the animated show "The Simpsons" every now and then, I don't really know anything else she shows up in. She has a great voice and does well in both roles. Her voice sounds very strict in both roles, but her voice can be funny [b]sometimes[/b]. She doesn't look too bad, either. Overall, she is underused, great, and funny.
    8.8/10.

    BOYS!!!!! hide show

    Famously known as Lois Wilkerson, the mother on Malcolm in the Middle, Jane Kaczmarek is a very talented actress. She had also appeared and guest stared in other shows. One I like is voicing the judge on The Simpsons. But every time I see her on another show, I think about her acting as the mother on MITM and how it relates on another show. She will be best known as Lois.
