Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson rose to fame when they starred as on-screen spouses in the hit 1990s sitcom "Home Improvement." The 69-year-old actor and the 72-year-old actress played Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and Jill Taylor for eight seasons from 1991 to 1999.

It was the first acting role for Allen, who was previously known for his work as a stand-up comedian.

She told Fox News Digital that she immediately noticed Allen's natural flair for acting from the first time they performed together. "I'd worked in New York theater for years, and all actors sometimes have trouble listening," Richardson said. "We're self-conscious or we don't know what we're doing or we're not really listening to the other person and just trusting ourselves to just respond." "Tim did that immediately," she recalled.
