Laurie Metcalf Admits She Hasn’t Spoken to Roseanne Barr Since She Was Booted From Show

Laurie Metcalf is an esteemed and established actress who has spent the better part of 30 years entertaining audiences with a bevy of characters who have reached out and made lasting connections on the small screen. From the malicious mothers of murderers in Monster: The Ed Gein Story to the God-fearing momma from the Lone Star State in The Big Bang Theory, Metcalf has left a lasting impression. But perhaps she is best known as the floundering Aunt Jackie, Roseanne‘s little sister in the original ’80s hit sitcom Roseanne, its revival, and its redux, The Conners.

But in a recent interview with The New Yorker, Metcalf admitted that it has been a long, long time since she last spoke to the star of the sitcom that made her a household name.
