The actress shares her grief journey in the forthcoming book ‘Inheriting Magic,’ which inspired the upcoming Lifetime movie ‘The Holiday Junkie.’
— the title of which she says describes how she’s carried on her mother, Patricia Mae’s, legacy of making everyone around her feel special.
Hewitt went on to share an example of how her mother made even the most un-extraordinary days feel magical at home. “If I had a broken heart or a bad day, she would put uplights because she believed that that sort of lifted the mood,” she said, laughing at the memory. “If I had bad cramps, there were lights.”
“The part that I didn’t put in the book is that actually the press knew that my mom had passed before I did,” said Hewitt, who at the time was in Monaco for the 52nd Monte Carlo TV Festival. “The flight time with me getting back was so long. It was like a 10-and-a-half-hour flight, so by the time I arrived, everybody knew, and it was such a weird thing for me. But then later on, I was like, but everybody’s always known everything about my life kind of before.
On the set of the movie — which features a special guest star voice appearance from Kristin Chenoweth, who was close friends with Hewitt’s mom — a tribute was posted honoring the memories of those the cast and crew lost.
