Note: After this article was published, we were able to get in touch with Patricia Richardson who shared additional information about her time in MoCo. Though she’s widely listed as being from Bethesda, she moved to the area from Hagerstown and attended Pyle Junior High (now middle school) before moving on to Holton Arms.
Recent rumors of a Home Improvement reunion via a possible reboot of the show have been swirling, but Montgomery County native Patricia Richardson put an end to them in a recent interview on the Back to the Best podcast.
Richardson was born and raised in Bethesda and attended Pyle Junior High (now middle school) and Holton-Arms School on River Road in Bethesda. After appearing on Broadway shows, commercials, and multiple television shows in the 80s, Patricia Richardson got her big break when she landed the role of Jill Taylor on Home Improvement as a last minute replacement. The role led to Richardson receiving four Emmy and two Golden Globe nominations. While working on Home Improvement in 1994, she co-hosted the Emmys with Ellen DeGeneres. TV Guide also named Jill Taylor the 7th best TV Mom of all-time.
According to a recent interview, Home Improvement co-star Tim Allen stated that “everyone was on board” for a reunion, but never asked Richardson. She reached out to co-star Jonathan Taylor Thomas who shared that he wasn’t contacted either. Richardson said “I wouldn’t want to” when discussing the possibility of any kind of reunion or reboot series.
Check out our new episode with @prichardsonla! We had so much fun chatting about her career, from how she got started in the industry, to playing Jill in Home Improvement, to what she’s been working on recently! Listen below!https://t.co/tGZEOgJoqI pic.twitter.com/zMhgajEe84
