Joan Cusack Peep and the Big Wide World
She is also known as the voice of Jessie in the Toy Story Franchise. Jessie is portrayed as exuberant, hearty, vivacious, and gregarious, and she is significantly more free-spirited and loose than Woody, who is orderly and peaceful. Joan Cusack, Jessie’s most frequent voice, describes her as a “can-do girl.” She is also quite tomboyish.
In Woody’s Roundup, Jessie is portrayed as a joyful and adventurous woodland creature who is helped by string puppets. She’s also a skilled yodeler. However, Jessie’s backstory is gloomy and depressing, as she was outgrown and abandoned by her owner Emily. She spent years as a collector’s item, which caused her to develop claustrophobia and nyctophobia. Jessie’s intense sense of unloved is concealed by her lively nature, which was soothed after Andy adopted her. In the third film, Andy tells her that she should have seen Emily all over again.
She had green eyes, red yarn hair twisted into a braid, pale plastic skin, and a little nose. She also wears a yellow ribbon tied to the bottom of her braided hair, a white long-sleeved western-style shirt with a bright yellow bodice and cuffs with swirling red designs, blue jeans, a pair of white chaps with cow spots all over, brown boots, a matching belt with gold buckle, a red cowgirl hat, and a pullstring on her back with a white loop attached.
Joan Cusack Shameless
Cusack first appeared in the Showtime drama/comedy Shameless in 2010 as Sheila Jackson, Karen Jackson’s mother. The first season premiered on January 9, 2011 and concluded on March 27, 2011. Cusack took over the part from Allison Janney, who appeared in the pilot episode’s original cut. Janney accepted the job with the expectation that the character would be less prominent on the show, but when producers opted to expand the character’s screen presence, she was obliged to withdraw from the role to fulfill her series commitment on the ABC comedy Mr. Sunshine. Cusack has received critical acclaim for her performance, with nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in 2011, 2012, and 2013, as well as nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2014 and 2015, the latter of which she won.
