Jean Smart knows a bit more than "24" fans about the future of first lady Martha Logan, the character she plays on the Fox series. But not much more.
Nobody on the round-the-clock thriller, notorious for its high body count, can ever be sure if they'll survive until the final second of the entire season is ticked off.
On this day, Smart is shooting the 17th and 18th hours of federal agent Jack Bauer's latest struggle to save the country from terrorists in just 24 hours -- so she knows she's made it that far. But come next week, she could easily become the late Martha Logan.
"I just hope if she goes, she goes in a real big way and takes a few people with her," Smart laughs, noting her teenage son, Connor, is "disappointed I haven't shot anybody yet."
