She’s been an outspoken pro-life conservative and still landed the roles on Raymond and The Middle. I don’t know how she managed to do it, but she seems to have inoculated herself against the lunatic left. Maybe because she does TV and isn’t a so-called Hollyweird A lister? Her father was a long time, well-known sports writer, Chuck Heaton, maybe they laid off her out of respect for him? Anyway, she’s a very talented comedienne and I’ve long been a fan of hers.
She has been open about her conservative views for a long time. She said it hurt her career but she didn’t care. She really is a rare person in Hollywood.
