Of course, like her onscreen husband Stephen Tobolowsky, the Juilliard-educated actress has best made a name for herself on television, especially on Frasier and Desperate Housewives in memorable recurring roles.
Harris still thrives on the small screen to this day, having recently played Eleanor Roosevelt in two different series in 2020 alone and a melancholia patient on Ratched, Netflix’s hit prequel series to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with Sarah Paulson in the title role.
Playing Stephen Tobolowsky’s ill-fated wife in Memento is Harriet Sansom Harris, who made her film debut in Addams Family Values in 1993 before going on to star in acclaimed modern classics like the Oscar-nominated Quiz Show in 1994, and Phantom Thread opposite the great Daniel Day-Lewis in 2017.
