real father heart
The importance of heart health became very real for me when my father died of heart disease seven years ago. Having experienced the loss first hand, I am inspired to do everything I can to break the cycle and prevent families from losing loved ones to this preventable disease.
heartbroken blessed loss
This loss has left me truly heartbroken. Robin Williams was one of the brightest, most loving & wonderful people I've ever been blessed to know. I'll miss him more than I can ever express in words.
flower home vortex
I shop at thrift stores a lot. I have a lot of silver pitchers and I put my flowers in those. I collect antiques, so there are a lot of old rocking chairs... My friends call my home the vortex because nobody wants to leave.
character responsibility light
There's an inherent responsibility actors feel when portraying something that actually exists in the world. It's arguably something that not all actors would agree on because this is a craft, but for me, it's the emotion of what a character is going through that makes the performance what it is. We have a responsibility to bring those emotions to light.
heart disease killers
Most women do not realize that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women.
mom kids littles
Well, I am not really a conventional mom at all. Like, I had my kids really young. I had Danny when I was 18 or 19 and then Liam when I was 23 and Molly, I had when I was a little older.
I am so not technically proficient at all.
flower journey people
For me to get the support and the love and response we did from critics, but to also be at Trader Joe's and have women come up to me and cry and hug me is on another level. That makes you take a step back because there are genuine emotions at stake. People were truly on a journey with her. This story opened up week by week like a flower. It was just a magical season, and I'm so happy I got to do it.
scary mammograms firsts
I had to go for a mammogram - my first mammogram ever - and It was really scary and I didn't know what to expect.
clean cooks
I love to clean. I love to cook.
people roles blonde
People figure because I'm blonde and was a model, I just waltzed into Los Angeles and got major roles in major films.
cancer laughing gone
The women I know who have gone through breast cancer still laugh a lot. They're not crying all day.
thinking healthy size
Size 8 is great! That is my new motto. I was a 14 and 6 and 12. I think it's healthy. I like to eat, drink and be merry!
yoga things-to-do thousand
Well, I don't like yoga. I've got a thousand things to do.
