Although it's been over twenty years since the series last aired, Patricia seems to have defied the aging process, looking remarkably like her days as the witty Jill Taylor.
Home Improvement became an instant classic when it hit screens in 1991.
Patricia played Jill, the patient wife of Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor.
Her character was the glue that held the chaotic Taylor family together.
The series ran for eight successful seasons, ending in 1999.
For her performance, Patricia was nominated four times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and twice for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical.
After Home Improvement ended, Richardson continued to work steadily in the industry, taking on various roles on television and in films.
She then went on to play the role of Dr. Andy Campbell in the medical drama Strong Medicine.
The talented actress was also nominated for two awards for this role.
She then played Republican presidential candidate Arnold Vinick in the famous political drama The West Wing.
Patricia recently responded to rumors that a Home Improvement reboot would be coming in the future.
Her TV husband Tim Allen had suggested that a new series might be in the works, but she turned him down, accusing him of “lying to people”.
She didn't mince her words, adding: “It was so weird, I heard on Twitter or something that [Allen] came out openly and said that everyone agreed with the idea of having a Home Improvement reunion.
“But he never asked me, and he never asked Jonathan [Taylor Thomas, who played middle child Randy].
“I called Jonathan one day and said, ‘Did he ask you about this?’ And he said, ‘No,’ and I thought, why is he going to tell everyone that we’re all behind you, when he hasn’t spoken to you or me? I think that’s weird.”
