It’s strange to find myself in Boston on Mother’s Day weekend. I’m speaking to students and alumni at my old high school Beaver Country Day (scene of Mother’s arrest at my sister’s graduation).
And look what I found:
My old self, Wendy Rea, dreaming of Broadway. And despite everything, ten years later that’s where I ended up in the Heidi Chronicles. I talked to the students about Chanel and surviving a homelife I’d tried to conceal. I think it’s important for kids, for people, who may think they’re alone in that situation to know that they’re not and that they can come through it and achieve what they hope to achieve.
