She also played numerous other roles, from a recurring role as a stay-at-home prostitute in Desperate Housewives to a charming but murderous realtor on Monk. She has also had recurring roles on Ladies Man, Shameless, and, most recently, playing Missy on all three seasons of the Paramount Plus show “Joe Pickett.” An accomplished stage actress, Sharon has appeared in numerous plays, including her solo play, THE SHOT, which she currently performs nationwide. Sharon’s performance has been described as “a luminescent performance informing us that sexual and psychological abuse knows no boundaries of economy or class or fame.” You can learn more about Sharon and The Shot in the show notes. “Between The Lines” episodes are written by guests who prefer to share their stories using their written voice instead of their interview voice. As always, we want to remind you that the views expressed in any blog are solely those of the author. Our aim is to provide a safe space for their voice to be heard. In this episode, we discuss a sensitive topic-domestic violence. If you find yourself feeling distressed, please remember to reach out to your support system. Your well-being is our utmost priority. Just a quick reminder about the Recovery Advocate Network (RAN). RAN's mission is to support individuals dedicated to their recovery journey but facing challenges due to insurance loopholes.
