Sara Gilbert has been famous since she was a child.
“I wanted in on that.
After “Roseanne” ended, Gilbert’s show business career kept on trucking.
However, when “Roseanne” returned to television in 2017, Gilbert ended up on quite the roller-coaster.
She felt like the sitcom’s story of a working-class family would resonate with audiences once again.
It was a hit.
Then, the show was canceled after star Roseanne Barr tweeted racist remarks.
It’s really about what happens to a family when there’s a political divide.”
This time, though, there was no getting aroundBarr’s problematic and controversial actions.
In the words of Tokyo Toni, “Well, yes!”
“But so often there are elements outside of your control.
You do your best and then stars align, or they don’t.”
In other words, Gilbert is booked and busy.
She toldDeadlinethat she intentionally tries to find roles that allow her to explore a certain tone.
I like that world in between, because I think that’s what life is like."
On herfinal episodea few months later, Gilbert addressed the audience.
“So I do miss that.”
Gilbert and Perry first got together after Gilbert split from her longtime partner Ali Adler.
The two got engaged in 2013, tied the knot in 2014, and welcomed a child in 2015.
Gilbert also shares two children with Alder.
Neither party was ordered to pay spousal support.
To that end, in 2019, she formed a production company with Tom Werner.
Gilbert detailed their plans in another interview withVariety.
“It’s almost like the choice was made for us,” she reflected.
Decades later, Gilbert’s friendship with the “Titanic” star seems to still be going strong.
Former “The View” host Michelle Collinstweeteda video of Gilbert looking back in consternation as DiCaprio prattled on.
AsBuzzFeednoted, Gilbert also attended her friend’s 49th birthday party that year.
Hollywood… what a world.
“I just heard these huge names, these icons …
I mean, you might’t think of anyone better to be in a movie with.”
In particular, Gilbert was excited that she played the daughter of thestunning Hollywood legend Lily Tomlin.
“To play her daughter was just the ultimate, the ultimate childhood fantasy.”
Other fans took it a step further and joked that they might even be the same person.
I would love to see her recite Patrick Mahomes' post-game hissy fit word for word."
By all accounts, the “Roseanne” alum sure seems to get a kick out of the meme.
“Taylor Swift’s great,” Gilbert joked, “but that’s my son.”
She concluded, “It’s a strange turn of events that has happened.”
It took some convincing, as she explained toVariety.
“We were all scared,” she said.
“We didn’t know how it was going to go.
We didn’t know how the reviews were going to go.”
The reviews were good, and in 2024, the sitcom celebrated a landmark 100th episode.
“It’s funny to have me play that,” she joked.
“So I had to do this dance, and all this kind of stuff.
It was wildly uncomfortable, but we laughed so hard.”
