Summary
Joan Cusack appeared Tuesday at the Hollywood premiere of “Toy Story 5,” her first red carpet in 11 years and first acting role in six.
Cusack said she stepped back from Hollywood to raise her children, live in Chicago and be “a normal person,” calling that life “kind of priceless.”
The 63-year-old reprises Jessie, a role she has played since the franchise began in 1995, though she said she never expected the part to last into 2026.
“Toy Story 5” opens June 19, with Cusack joining Woody, Buzz and other returning characters in a story about stopping technology from taking over kids’ lives.
