Kimberly Williams-Paisley's TV Magic & Giving Back

Kimberly Williams-Paisley is killing it on screen right now, starring as a 9-1-1 operator in the hit drama, 9-1-1 Nashville, while hosting. The reality dating show, Farmer, wants a wife. You might remember her from classics like, according to Jim or Father of the Bride, but she's juggling these fresh gigs with real flair. Filming her role means a lot of phone scenes, where she's reacting to wild emergencies solo on set, with just a script reader off in the corner. She calls it TV magic when it all comes together, and digs how the stories pull from actual first responder tales, cranked up for drama. She's all about giving back to, co-founding a nonprofit grocery store that lets families shop for free food on their terms, no handouts. They just opened a second spot, aiming to help way more folks facing hunger in their community. This season, a farmer wants a wife, shakes things up with three farmers instead of four, letting sparks fly deeper as viewers connect with the real.
