The stars of Hallmark’s ‘The Way Home’ chat with Scary Mommy about motherhood, aging, Hollywood, and more.
In a private dining room of a Fifth Avenue hotel, two Hallmark publicists are attempting to explain to the legendary Andie MacDowell the meaning of the word “cheugy.”, which follows three generations of women as they rebuild their relationships after a series of family traumas. Earlier that day, co-stars Chyler Leigh and Sadie Laflamme-Snow played a game where they each had to decipher the other’s generational slang. “What are Gen Z's terms, though?” asks MacDowell.
Expanding the core Hallmark audience seems particularly important to Leigh, who brings with her fans of her role as Alex Danvers on her previous project,with a lot of viewers. And Leigh had her own, personal revelations come from the experience: “It was actually during that time where I had my own kind of revelations about myself and was able to identify myself and say, ‘You know what? I'm OK with saying that I'm bisexual.
Granted, it does have implications for her career choices. “It definitely makes me an older person, but that was my choice,” she says. “I was so tired of pretending to be younger, and I'm also tired of Hollywood asking us to be younger.” “Look, this is an industry that can be so abusive, particularly for women,” Leigh explains. “And I started when I was very young, and they tell you that you're fat, you're ugly, you're ‘nothing’ right in front of your face. You're passing them by to go and they're saying, ‘Nah, she's not good for this photo shoot because ooh, look at those thighs.’ So, I went through bouts of anorexia. I went through bouts of just feeling disgusting in my own skin.
