'The Sopranos' star has a candid conversation with Scary Mommy about everything from her new podcast with Christina Applegate to where Meadow would be today.
The actor and mother-of-two opens up to Scary Mommy about MS, her new podcast with Christina Applegate, and where Meadow Soprano would be now.For most of us, our introduction to Jamie-Lynn Sigler came by way of what is widely considered one of the best TV shows ever created:. At just 16, Sigler landed the role of Meadow, the melodramatic, high-achieving, and, sure, a little spoiled daughter of Tony and Carmela.
Once I was able to do that, the second and third steps were easy. I was like, ‘OK, I've accepted the limitations that MS has given me and that this is a part of my life, so how do I move forward?’ So, sort of reframing each area of my life — in motherhood, as an actress — what adjustments do I need to make?
In accepting myself and watching my boys sort of accept that this is who their mom is, we've been able to make the adjustments together, and they see me as no different than any other mom. All their needs are met by me, and taking the time that I need for myself makes me a better mom. That acceptance allows me to find a lot of the gifts that it's given me. It's given me perspective and appreciation. While it's slowed me down, it's also allowed me to look around, and I have immense gratitude for the things that are good in my life. I really think it's just made me a better human being.
