Lisa Ann Walter's Famous On-Screen Performances
Chessy in The Parent Trap (1998) Nick Parker's housekeeper and Hallie's all-seeing, all-loving nanny is a staple of all of our childhoods. From greeting Annie (posing as Hallie) like the sun itself had risen, to instantly clocking her clumsy little fibs, Walter brought heart to the story, and even scored a cute romance with the butler!
Melissa Schemmenti in Abbott Elementary (2021 - present) The no-nonsense, tough-but-tender second-grade (now middle school) teacher is the ultimate Philly powerhouse. From nearly smashing a cardboard cutout in Story Samurai to throwing down over ruined books in Art Teacher, she's as surprisingly sweet as she is fierce. Her Italian slang, love of sports, and obsession with sugar on grits make her one of TV's most entertaining work wives ever.
