Mary Willard, playwright, TV writer and wife of four-time Emmy nominee Fred Willard, has died at the age of 71.
Willard died on July 13, but news of her death was recently made public.
Champion is the one word that comes to mind when remembering Mary Willard and she wasn’t just Fred Willard’s best cheerleader, but she also mentored and nurtured a number of creative comedic writers and actors through the Willards’ Los Angeles-based comedy sketch group The Mohos over the last two-plus decades (which anecdotally I was a part of some years ago).
‘Let’s put on a show’ was an unofficial mantra, and within less than two-weeks time, the troupe would pull wigs out of the closet and brush up pages for performances at the Io West and The Bang Theater and even as far as the Inland Empire. Those trying out sketches at Mohos had the opportunity...

Chris Kattan just wanted to make people laugh.
In fact, that’s what he was trying to do when he suffered an injury that would plague him for the next 20 years.
“I was doing a stunt and I knew something was wrong but I didn’t think it was serious,” Kattan tells People exclusively. “It wasn’t until, maybe, two day later — when my arm started to atrophy — that I got checked out and the doctor told me that I’d broken my neck.”
But rather than ask his friends and colleagues for support, Kattan chose to keep his condition private.
