In a building where no party pooper exists, Kimberly Williams-Paisley expressed her interest in joining her "Father of The Bride" co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short, in their popular Hulu series "Only Murders in the Building." "Yeah, let them know," the 53-year-old actress exclusively told the Post at the Alzheimer's Association's Dance Party to End ALZ red carpet on Sunday. "Sure, I am available!"

Williams-Paisley is also keen on collaborating with her sister, Ashley Williams, possibly in a Hallmark Christmas movie. "Totally. We had the best time working together," she gushed. "I love working with Ashley, she's amazing."

Living in Nashville, Tennessee, with family in LA, Williams-Paisley enjoys the flexibility for dream collaborations. "I haven't thought about that," she confessed. "There are so many great, creative people in Hollywood, New York, and Tennessee."

The iconic duo of Martin, 79, and Short, 74, starred alongside Williams-Paisley in the 1991 comedy "Father of the Bride" and its 1995 sequel. They reunited for the 2020 short film "Father of the Bride Part 3 (ish)." In the Nancy Meyers movies, Martin played father George Banks, Short starred as wedding planner Franck Eggelhoffer, and Williams-Paisley was the titular bride, Annie.

At 19, while a sophomore at Northwestern University, Williams-Paisley auditioned for the role, more concerned about navigating the L train to Chicago than the audition itself. "I just auditioned on a whim," she admitted to E! News. "Not trying to get the part, necessarily, I was just trying to figure out if I could manage taking the L train into Chicago for the first time."

Focusing on her transportation method helped calm her nerves. "I think that actually helped me because I wasn't nervous for the audition at all," she said. "I just thought there was no chance that I was going to get it. Because marriage was the furthest thing from my mind as a sophomore in college."

Landing the role, she gained new friends, including her onscreen love interest, George Newbern. "George was my saving grace because it was this huge Hollywood movie, and I was kind of intimidated by Steve Martin and Diane Keaton even though they were fantastic to me," she explained to Glamour in 2014. "Steve really took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. He was so nice. And Diane was just hysterical. But George was my partner in crime. It was terrifying and wonderful at the same time." Diane Keaton, Kieran Culkin, and Eugene Levy also starred.

Currently, Martin and Short have teamed up with Selena Gomez, bringing their on-screen chemistry to "Only Murders in the Building." "I think that the script and the stories are very good, and that the premise is unusual," Martin told Numero in a September interview. "What we didn't know was that the chemistry between the three of us, that none of us can even try to explain, would show through the screen. We're just having fun. We love each other. We're all professionals and we give it our all. Our writers do too, and we have great directors and writers. We're all very lucky."

For Season 4, which moves the action to Los Angeles, Short teased, "Lots of things happen... This new detective story has many twists and turns. I think it will leave the audience in the lurch until the very end – no one knows who the hell committed the murder." All ten episodes of Season 4 of "Only Murders in the Building" are currently streaming on Hulu.
