While actress, who also played Kate Winslet’s memorable mother in Mare of Easttown, said she doesn’t have plans for a memoir, she did mention Gilliland, whom she met while filming Designing Women.
“You know, I feel like I just should say something about my husband, because he passed away very unexpectedly.
“I was a wreck, but it actually turned out to be very funny,” Smart said, before praising the talents of her late husband.
Gilliland died on March 18 in Los Angeles following a brief illness, according to a statement from his family.
