Deidre Hall has never been busier. The Days of Our Lives star, who plays Dr. Marlena Hall on the long-running daytime drama, has recently appeared on the award-winning comedy Hacks.
Hall was cast as the mother of Deborah Vance's (Jean Smart) Hollywood agent Jimmy. She appeared in the Max comedy's third season, as Jimmy previously revealed his mom's identity in episode 2 when Jimmy and his assistant Kayla (Megan Stalter) — who sings the praises of Deidre's "incredible body" in front of her embarrassed son as the duo scrambled to get Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) a guest host gig for sick late-night host. Deidre (the character) was booked; as Jimmy tells the late show's EP (Dan Bucatinsky), his "always camera-ready" mom's demands include a car service with a driver and to keep it after her appearance. Later, we meet her at a Christmas family dinner at Deidre Hall's home as Jimmy and Kayla show up for Christmas dinner with a special guest: Larry Arbuckle, grandson of silent film star Fatty Arbuckle, played by Christopher Lloyd. The series showed Hall's incredible comedy range and her chemistry with the Hacks cast.
