Patricia Richardson says chemistry with Tim Allen made her take the part on 'Home Improvement'
Patricia Richardson opened up about her time on the hit sitcom “Home Improvement” as well as her on-screen chemistry with co-star Tim Allen.
Richardson and Allen starred as husband and wife Tim and Jill Taylor from 1991 - 1999 on the massively successful ABC sitcom. Speaking to "Entertainment Tonight" about her time on the show, Richardson explained that she didn’t actually audition for the role of Jill but kind of stumbled into it when the producers got desperate.
"[The network said] we need to have someone that challenges him and is as much a feminist as he is a masculinist," Richardson recalled of the overtly masculine Tim Taylor character.
She remembered that, days before the show began filming, she was under contract with Disney for a different project that didn’t pan out. Meanwhile, “Home Improvement” was about to start and they still needed a wife character.
