\"\"Jean Smart was recently spotted in New York City using a cane, just a week after revealing she had suffered a painful knee injury.<\/p>\n

The 73-year-old\u00a0Hacks<\/em>\u00a0actress was dressed casually yet stylishly and was accompanied by two handlers as she made her way to a performance of her one-woman Broadway show,\u00a0Call Me Izzy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Despite her injury, Smart showed remarkable determination to return to the stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"The injury happened on the Fourth of July while Smart was walking with her sons.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She tripped over a small barrier on the ground\u2014something she described as about the size of a hockey puck.<\/p>\n

She told\u00a0People<\/em>\u00a0that she \u201cwent down like a ton of bricks\u201d and mentioned that a health worker informed her they see \u201cone a day\u201d of people tripping on the same obstacle.<\/p>\n

When she asked why more complaints weren\u2019t made, she said New Yorkers typically just shrug it off and say, \u201cEh, what are you gonna do?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

As a result of the injury, Smart was forced to take a two-week break from her show.<\/p>\n

On July 8, she underwent knee surgery, and during her recovery, Tony Award winner Johanna Day stepped in to cover her role.<\/p>\n

The production was excited to announce Smart\u2019s return to the stage this past Tuesday with an Instagram Story saying, \u201cTonight! Welcome Back Jean.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Despite her injury, Smart was eager to continue performing.<\/p>\n

She told\u00a0People<\/em>\u00a0she planned to wear a leg brace but reassured fans that her show wouldn\u2019t involve \u201cbig tap numbers and somersaulting across the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, she found that the brace added a new dimension to her performance, making her character feel more \u201ctrapped\u201d and giving her vocal delivery an extra edge since she couldn\u2019t move freely.<\/p>\n

Call Me Izzy<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of a Louisiana woman trapped in an abusive marriage who uses poetry as a means of escape.<\/p>\n

\"\"Smart remains optimistic about her recovery, saying, \u201chopefully by the time we close, I\u2019ll be skipping around.\u201d The show is scheduled to run through August 24.<\/p>\n

Her commitment to returning to the stage despite her injury speaks volumes about her professionalism and resilience.<\/p>\n

Her experience also serves as a reminder of the unexpected dangers posed by everyday obstacles in a city like New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
