“Jackie was like, you know, no one will care about this.
These are just the people from our neighborhood, you know?
And he was like, no, that’s why people will care about it,” Gilbert recalled.
Her other half-sibling, Jonathan Gilbert, also appeared on the show.
Her sister’s success gave Gilbert the inclination that acting was something she wanted to attempt.
“I was dying to do it.
“They would get gifts from working on sets, especially at Christmas.
I wanted in on those presents.”
Sara also felt that acting was her destiny.
“I remember playing his friend …
It was so long ago, before ‘The Wonder Years.’
None of us really had any credits,” she toldEntertainment Weekly.
When she became a teenager, Darlene Conner began dating David Healey, played by actor Johnny Galecki.
As it happened, life imitated art when the two teenage actors began dating for real.
That, she explained, was how she came to the realization that she was gay.
Galecki, one of the few people who knew, never told a soul.
“I was always so scared if it came out.”
She later came to regret that strategy.
“When it comes to your family,” she added, “it’s better to give.”
In addition, Gilbert committed to return to L.A. to shoot episodes during her school breaks.
“Just from a logistic standpoint, I was surprised,” Gilbert told the Times.
Gilbert graduated in 1997, and the completion of her studies coincided with the end of “Roseanne.”
During the press conference, Gilbert officially came out as a lesbian.
“This is a talk show.
So obviously, I’m going to be discussing my life more.”
Looking back, nobody was more surprised by the openness she’d embraced than Gilbert herself.
“I don’t know what happened!”
She pitched the project to Sony but was rejected.
CBS Studios (which produced “The Talk,” and was a co-defendant) responded with vitriol.
“Anyone can make small changes that make a big difference.
“We have to leave the world a better place for them,” she said.
“So you purchased a product in the really bad kind of non-recyclable plastic today?
Make up for it by buying the right kind of paint tomorrow,” she explained.
Gilbert and Perry wed in 2014.
“It definitely feels different,” Gilbert told the wedding attendees, reportedPeople.
Their separation was finalized in 2021, with the two sharing custody of their son, Rhodes.
Speaking withUs Weekly, Perry shared her view ofthe end of their marriage.
“I mean, it’s life, man,” she said.
“That doesn’t mean … things that end doesn’t mean they’re over or they’re bad.
Barr blamed Gilbert for her downfall.
“She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet,” Barr toldThe Washington Postin 2019.
“She repeatedly twisted it,” she said.
“It was her tweet that canceled the show.”
“Something had to give,” she explained in a subsequent interview withVariety.
“And I’ve been lucky enough to do the talk show for nine years.
And so that felt like the right move is, ‘Okay, I’ve done that.
And I’ve fully explored it.’
And now it’s time to do other creative ventures.”
