She candidly shared her struggles with depression after ending her Broadway run playing Texas Governor Ann Richards, as well as the death of her mother several years ago.
Among the many personal experiences she intimated on the show, Holland Taylor revealed that going through the loss of her mother opened her up to a deeper and more committed kind of relationship, which she hadn’t given much thought prior to that turning point in her life. She then admitted that she is currently in a serious relationship at the moment and that she is “lucky to have the opportunity” to experience that at her age of 72.
