the in the kid and zachary as a
7:27
guide since wanna go some day and you
7:29
would normally born in New York for you
7:31
were raised their why I believe both your
7:34
parents were actor rising among an actress minor
7:36
you know yet is currently working and Harry
7:38
Potter yeah. On Broadway similar though I'm
7:40
on Broadway on bigger Mama's with

7:44
an aunt. Is. Now was
7:46
then. Okay to got sick either time
7:49
in between Mister Concepts and your brother was
7:51
an actor and my goodness to talk to
7:53
me about. Like not only like which is.
7:56
Growing up a dark, a child actor, new your
7:58
for accidents, living as a. Head in
8:00
that city. Yeah, it's it's
8:03
wild, you know any? It's always
8:05
like. Grass. Is greener type
8:07
of sassy girls and of my good
8:09
three hundred square foot a partner with
8:11
it. how many kids and on that
8:13
off top of the side floor walk
8:15
out with mice everywhere like I'm so
8:17
grateful for it and I loved every
8:19
second of it growing up that it
8:21
it definitely was like I knew it
8:23
was different. but yeah, I couldn't imagine
8:25
a difference as a child had even
8:27
when I was a child. like even
8:29
in that present moment you know, the
8:31
eastern edge. I grew up on seventh
8:33
between first and second. Street and East
8:36
Village in the nineties. It.
8:39
Was not not what it is now
8:41
and it was very dangerous is my
8:44
dad had on his nickname was the
8:46
Mayor of Seven street because at night
8:48
he is sue actually like lox Seventh
8:50
street between first and second with a
8:52
baseball bat. And that.
8:56
I cannot imagine Andrew nice. Blog:
8:59
A lot of intimacy with a baseball that it's a
9:01
kind. Of like our own lives street patrol time
9:03
so sort of as a doing it is and
9:06
how soon. As an intimidation tactics to get you know
9:08
like there was a lot of people on the street
9:10
that had little kids and. You
9:12
know how to protect. You know,
9:14
just like he, but he wouldn't have
9:16
my job a baseball mother. yeah and
9:19
so everyone nickname him the Mayor of
9:21
Seven Six assess what he did. so
9:23
as it is. It's very wild thinking
9:26
about my childhood, about how my parents
9:28
had to literally like lift me up
9:30
out of the fly a because they
9:33
were needles their from overnight so I'm
9:35
it was very very dangerous growing up
9:37
that I didn't think of anything otherwise.

11:50
with covered strawberries and our case somehow they
11:52
made it. Happens only around at a turkey
11:55
sandwich from one season truck with covered strawberries
11:57
I was like this is the life. By
12:00
the way, p A stands for Production Assistant
12:02
Warmth, not your parcels. For
12:06
your own times, I know productions. As
12:08
my dad had been gathering feeders so
12:10
I didn't know this film television life
12:13
and so I just thought personal assistant
12:15
and that It was like the most
12:17
glamorous saying in the world for me
12:19
and I had so much fun and
12:22
Howard was just that scientists individual and
12:24
I just remember thinking like you have
12:26
the bluest eyes I ever see. Are
12:29
so pretty. Grass. And then
12:31
the next job that I got was. Things.
12:33
And of her innocence, daughter and objects
12:35
my success and I had a Honey
12:37
Wagons There was no one piece or
12:40
chocolate covered. Strawberries and one honey widely
12:42
dispersed for people who have narrowed about
12:44
is like or how would you describe.
12:46
I'd say it's kind of like a
12:48
sleeve of a room on asleep. So
12:50
much of a room upset, a seat
12:52
on the rails if it, if it,
12:54
If it's if it. Basically.
12:56
I a trailer that's divided into
12:59
like for three or four parts.
13:01
and maybe I would. Say more like
13:03
five or. Something. Like
13:05
easier little segment of the of the trailer
13:07
and sometimes of the bathroom and a usually
13:09
now. Or woke in. It ends.
13:12
And ninety's the Honey Wagons You
13:14
lifted up a position of the
13:16
couch. And it got way right steps for
13:18
I remember the first time I guess actually
13:20
was in wind that added to a server
13:22
converted to it's one of like this cannot
13:24
be sounded are now these measures sitting on
13:26
out when it was you know when wouldn't
13:28
want to go out and brickhouse and been
13:31
feeling very uncomfortable to be first person was
13:33
just like blue lights me as with water
13:35
you know who knows how many people have
13:37
been in. here are my daughter novel is
13:39
the exact details it was all very disturbing.
13:41
yeah odds are that was one. How do
13:43
I feel as a honey worried about. A
13:46
been able to moser shock a surname. A
13:48
diversion of a com for yeah, yeah exactly.
13:51
From the and and covered strawberries and conference
13:53
in my mom was like oh thank goodness
13:55
she's not and want to act anymore because
13:57
she sees how nice really is our. The
14:00
actor. Said then I would you
14:02
know and be doing my penmanship on on the side
14:04
of the street because it was a nice day out
14:06
in. The. One honey wagon so like
14:08
a bathroom because it was road and Jennifer
14:10
Anniston som ensues like oh, Has. Failed
14:16
your horses. And my mom
14:18
was like. I'm.
14:21
Trying to teach my daughter a lesson that
14:23
it is not all glamour and now you're
14:26
inviting her into your entire trip with some
14:28
said any for hair samples and it was
14:30
like one of those massive trailers and you
14:32
know she's Jennifer for can and a sense.
14:35
Of ahead of friends right now at. Like
14:37
like beginning site like that. Like
14:39
essentially like mater family season see.
14:41
Your Uri kind of of Israel. A.
14:43
Big big deal has it's a massive trailer
14:45
and I would just to like. Jennifer Anniston
14:48
would help me with my penmanship and everything
14:50
and my mom was like my goodness my
14:52
my daughter's just like. The luckiest
14:54
two little girls ever that she
14:57
keeps getting his heart hold
14:59
into these places. And. of
15:01
her I've always wondered as because I
15:03
did not come from parents of bar
15:06
near my parents were not in the
15:08
entertainment for the house but I know
15:10
that some of my friends in of
15:12
grew up with with parents who were
15:14
playwrights and announcers and on what was
15:17
it like for you were. Growing.
15:19
Up with parents who were successful they were
15:22
working on but you know if you were
15:24
sort of hitting it at a different levels
15:26
seems like even early on and yards you
15:28
know if that was like for your dad
15:31
and for your mom to to sort of.
15:34
Be. Separate and you into this industry
15:36
and have you doing so well it
15:38
was. There are complications with that. On
15:41
My parents have always been so supportive
15:43
Other than then saying no, don't become
15:46
an actor. Us right? Once
15:48
they realize that that the train and left the station
15:50
and they couldn't stop and they realize you know like
15:52
will we have to support her now. And to research
15:54
on his ride. My dad
15:56
would you know he was doing Merchant of Venice
15:58
soon as it. Dirty to remove
16:01
all. I'm just kind of like really taking
16:03
any job. He said to put money on
16:05
the table so he would be in Colorado
16:07
for six months at a time. and here
16:09
I was. You know, on television shows and
16:12
doing movies left and right at. But I
16:14
think that they were always. Just.
16:16
Really proud of me and just always making
16:18
sure that I wanted to do it. I
16:20
don't think they ever resented me in any
16:23
type of way. I think they just realized,
16:25
you know, like a I guess this is
16:27
what our daughter's going to do with her
16:29
life. We really hoped for her. To be
16:31
a doctoral or a lawyer who? something. We
16:34
wanna make sure that she doesn't make
16:37
any. Mistakes and I'm so
16:39
grateful for how my parents raised me
16:41
and and and navigated that. me being
16:43
in the industry and kind of doing
16:45
things that they weren't even doing and
16:48
had never done before. But you know
16:50
I wasn't like a Dakota fanning at
16:52
a H and were like I was.
16:54
I was just like kind of like
16:56
a steady working. Actor around
16:58
the age. Of four to eighteen, Andra
17:01
when modern when I look modern.
17:03
Family that was like the big
17:05
rocket to the moon pillars kind
17:07
of thing. I think that honestly
17:09
because I came from it's sphere
17:11
families and because I had essentially
17:13
displayed jewelry my entire life for.
17:15
Fourteen. Years earlier. In tv
17:18
shows and and even Broadway and
17:20
things like that, it was it.
17:22
It really helped. Set. Me
17:24
up for. Navigating.
17:26
Modern Family to the success
17:28
that. I. Was able
17:31
to just personally on a personal note because
17:33
it really could have gone sideways. So me
17:35

to serie not. In retrospect, my own right
23:22
assets are hard topic. Of
23:24

this time. You know and you know I see
23:46
things are things are changing rapidly You? yeah steady
23:48
work you have is John is so that's a
23:50
huge said. Are you for some appreciate how you
23:52
say you don't want to be defined by your
23:55
health struggles? Yeah But this is also a time
23:57
when you were having lot of how struggle. It
24:00
is when your career you're going to
24:02
not only like you know early twenties,
24:04
late teens which is such a small
24:06
I see we're to time anyway as
24:08
figuring out you know you're you're dating
24:10
people trying to figure out who who
24:13
won in a partner and then on
24:15
top of that dealing with something that
24:17
is not only putting you in a
24:19
sense not a pain but also changing
24:21
the way he was in a in
24:23
a period when like you are on
24:25
the hottest show on television was his
24:28
face said it was like we were.
24:30
On a five of. Five. And me around
24:32
three? Crazy yes. But it's like all
24:34
eyes are on us. Yeah yeah yeah
24:36
yeah. I mean. You
24:38
talk a little bit about what that felt like
24:41
from it's also a hub and we've had this
24:43
conversation so many times. Have so many people to
24:45
have this conversation with someone who is in that
24:47
space with you. Ah, months. I just hope that
24:49
you know you know I'm I'm sure to take
24:51
care of. You know, I don't want Sudan's Your
24:54
Hands exploiting this moment of your life because it's
24:56
something I know that was really hard for you
24:58
to go through without Like for you. I
25:01
remember there's a day on
25:03
Sats. Ah I
25:06
see. And.
25:10
I'm isn't just supreme amount of
25:12
hand. And sell
25:14
I were. I just kind of like a
25:16
seem like realizing something in there wasn't enough
25:19
time to go back to my trailer that
25:21
I also like. I'm fairly new so I
25:23
Santa's little corner and Sarah and like single
25:25
or his kids and I was always that
25:27
say and glory as long as the owner
25:30
so much. As a family seem are almost
25:32
all we ever. How? Yes! Exactly and sell armor
25:34
and I was kind of curl up
25:36
into a ball and you came up
25:38
to me in an and and very
25:40
lightly touched me on the so is
25:42
the i felt like everybody at that
25:44
time thought like as i them breathe
25:46
on her skin a break and on
25:48
the you're just like. And I
25:51
get you anything is there? Anything. You
25:53
Need and see or for yell
25:55
and me being the you know.
25:58
Oh, the Dictator And so. That are
26:00
on a date Anybody I was like no
26:02
I'm fine, I'm fine says at the is
26:04
I'm fine, Everything is gonna be okay and
26:06
I'm. In a it's just
26:09
like I just wanted to let
26:11
you know how appreciative I am
26:13
for that They know in the
26:15
moments I was probably very cold
26:17
in in in that place but
26:19
it was also like a protective
26:21
of like they expel any energy
26:23
and even energy of gratitude to
26:26
a person that I love so
26:28
dearly. that's gonna take away from
26:30
us this. Trying to freeze
26:32
myself in this moment so they don't feel
26:34
any more pain than I already do. So
26:36
want you to know that like any time
26:38
you did, any of that. Always
26:41
so appreciative of it. I think what
26:43
it goes back to is what you
26:45
were talking about before. Is this that
26:47
workhorse mentality said that comes from my
26:50
parents of of you don't know when
26:52
the next job is going to be
26:54
and you always have to work hard.
26:56
and if you don't work hard and
26:58
if you complain it's oh. You.
27:01
Get the boot wrong. so
27:04
for me if I ignored
27:06
or how i sell. Most.
27:09
Definitely not healthy. Please don't do their
27:11
from her Amazon account or less has
27:14
is is is how I got through
27:16
something else if I ignored us or
27:18
tried to set aside my pain and
27:20
just. Forge. Ahead
27:22
and that that was the only way
27:25
that I knew how and that was
27:27
the only. Honestly, that was the only
27:29
way that I was going to be
27:31
able to make it through anything was
27:33
just you work and you just constantly
27:35
work and he constantly distract yourself with
27:38
work and and that's it. For.
27:40
Me: It's. I don't remember
27:42
a lot of film and and because
27:44
I was always focused on this essentially
27:47
just surviving and knowing my lines and
27:49
being there one hundred percent when they
27:51
l doc sin and then immediately collapsing
27:53
when they have clients. For when
27:56
modern family was heading emphasis
27:58
advice from either. Mostly
28:01
from friends of mine who had been through
28:03
similar experience with a sign a them Will
28:05
and Grace or as nervous as friendly with
28:07
Matthew Perry from of who was on friends
28:09
give them My friend had stating amateurs I'm
28:11
almost all the basic I was. I just
28:14
remember every moment and really make it all
28:16
n sit there. Is that saying words like
28:18
it's you weren't You weren't you Lily weren't
28:20
capable of it. You want to hide, Sue
28:22
sub preserve his arm. I remember a day
28:24
when we were shooting and if we were
28:27
if is I don't know the specifics of
28:29
the scene and you might not remember it
28:31
as if I think you're in as intense
28:33
amount of tannadice were pushing a car. Oh
28:35
My. God. I remember that so much I
28:37
doubt. You have doubts I
28:40

28:42
That's right, you had gotten I remember. You
28:45
are where I have a high heel shoe.
28:47
High heels. Hadn't been established by

28:51
feeling. I got cabbage on my side. Of
28:56

28:58
a was very intense on how. Busy
29:00

29:02
insisted the sad to say your name

I would sit there sitting on the
29:07
internet. About like are we were being brought
29:09

29:11
I I had doubts to say it put me I
29:13
was retaining so much water they put me on. Like.
29:16
Water, pills or a what am whatever. It was an
29:18
an end. Because I was put on that I got
29:21
doubt in my foot. It was. The most excruciating
29:23
pain so vividly I can. I don't know,
29:25
I don't I'm of the seems that so
29:27
concerned about you. There. Was there was something

29:44
his opponents. aggressive left. There are so
29:46
few industries I feel were like people
29:49
are expected to work through illness like
29:51
that. and I do feel like the
29:53
entertainment business especially if you're in front
29:56
a camera you know if they tell
29:58
rights off for late. Reminds
30:00

Wow did nothing to this is gonna

happen as a healer. In Nashville at
36:00
the time so I'm so it would
36:03
have been long distance and I think
36:05
that's the really great seeing about a
36:07
relationship is that not only did we
36:09
start long distance that we started just
36:11
on this phone on the like almost
36:13
like a modern day love letters reality
36:16
to like offered. Who are like I'm
36:18
into delay. Or for for her
36:20
allies or me and. My and
36:22
yeah, we've really, really got to know
36:24
each other before we even. Were.
36:27
Physically and the same room. afraid armor
36:29
So I felt very safe and comfortable
36:31
with him. That I'm obviously not enough
36:34
to tell him what was going on
36:36
medically in my life and invited her
36:38
know realize you know, like man like
36:40
a release. I can. I.
36:43
Think I could probably marry this guy
36:45
like. Is really like before going ham. I
36:47
yeah I was just like this is like
36:50
such a sarong connection and I have such
36:52
an amazing feeling about this. I'm gonna put
36:54
this out there is I'm not going to
36:57
start saving him when I'm in recovery. like
36:59
absolutely not arm. I've been through this before
37:01
and I know how hard it is when
37:03
you're recovering like that's not gonna happen soon
37:06
as this route out there. And as I
37:08
say, I'm having some
37:10

37:12
take me out of commission for the
37:14
next couple months so I can use
37:16
a come to our labor like within
37:18
the next week or else I don't
37:21
think that this can continue. And he
37:23
did. And we had our first date
37:25
at the night before the Emmys party.
37:27
And. That's when I told him that I
37:30

Saturday night before the Emmys party or for
37:36

37:39
Second date after that Monday we had work
37:41
I'm on her family and to they have

43:53
and I was able to actually
43:55
be very presence was as is
43:57
very. Grateful for no. More.
43:59
To tell her to. That. Had
44:03
to see I miss you so much. Just
44:06
and definitely like we have to do a
44:08
double date because he's like I have any.
44:10
When he knew I was coming he almost
44:12
came by the way about. I
44:15
now. Regret! We
44:17
flew to Mexico City and he brought back a little
44:20
bit about what about any my his you so much
44:22
I would love to have a double Its and. I
44:24
would lead to admit I'm probably just gonna have
44:26
to do it Civil liberties as as well Sleep
44:29
on Sunday for. Be I
44:31
P S or and paradigm or
44:33
okay, well me files do with
44:35
Autumn. So that's why ever all
44:38
of the no need to be
44:40
part of it was from a
44:43
cast away. From
44:47
Metabolites the Mouth of Hobby. Just go to bed
44:50
early and you now just playing some doors for
44:52
an item for I. Said
44:55
I was a possessive was in my dream. Buys
44:57
Oh my Glob Melatonin Southland. Because
44:59
the way the most likely not afraid
45:01
to system really want to Canada France.
45:06
Was really cool the are going to
45:08
know them thing this episode and got
45:10
our now has happened twice already I
45:12
know but not attempt a camp or
45:14
can manifest that hasn't happened. I know
45:17
I almost didn't. My
45:20
area the same. Process
45:22
and I had to like up for
45:24
free us from our on that doesn't
45:27
know them and again. Or
45:29
that I love. Me so much for
45:31
having me my coffee to your icons
45:34
on the top is on. Dinner is
45:36
dinners on Me! Ah. There's
45:46
probably work cast members from on her
45:48
family that I see the most, but
45:50
normally it's a double date or a
45:52
larger group. So he was so nice
45:55
to have some one on one time
45:57
with her. I was absolutely fascinated by
45:59
her early years. New York City, having
46:01
to working actors as parents, a small
46:03
railroad apart and with a bath in
46:05
the kitchen? I mean, no wonder they're
46:08
also close. I think this a Brazilian
46:10
said she learned through osmosis to seeing
46:12
her parents worked so hard to put
46:15
food on the table and me. it's
46:17
why she's such a hard worker and
46:19
even when her body failed her. and
46:22
I know system want to be defined
46:24
by chronic illness, but I find how
46:26
she's been able to persevere despite this
46:28
hardships incredibly inspiring. Next
