kindness and morals. In the episode "Girlfriends and Boyfriends", Harold reveals to Lindsay that he lost his virginity to a prostitute while he was a soldier in Korea. Harold regrets that his first time was not special and comments that it was the "worst five dollars I've ever spent". He does not reflect on the feelings of the prostituted woman or girl in a nation at war, with a history of war-time sexual exploitation. Jean Weir Jean Weir, portrayed brilliantly by Becky Ann Baker, is a devoted mother and wife who often overlooks her own needs for the sake of the Weirs. She provides for her family, especially when it comes to making meals and ensuring her kids' well-being, as well as giving them guidance and advice whenever they need it, even though sometimes she is oblivious to the issues her children are facing.
