Annie Potts is an actor who transcends generations. In the 1980s, she gained fame for her delightfully sardonic portrayal of wise-cracking secretary Janine Melnitz in the original “Ghostbusters” films. Potts later reprised her role as Janine in the more modern “Ghostbusters” legacy sequels. In the 1990s, she added another iconic role to her repertoire when she voiced Bo Peep in Pixar’s first two “Toy Story” movies, eventually reprising that role in “Toy Story 4” some 20 years later. Then, from 2017 to 2024, Potts played the key role of Sheldon Cooper’s grandmother in the “Big Bang Theory” prequel series “Young Sheldon,” appearing opposite her “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” co-star Mckenna Grace.
