Strokes are nothing new to the star and her family as she, Marie, and her grandmother have all suffered them in the past. The actress has even gone as far as becoming an advocate for brain aging diseases that disproportionately affect women.
During a 2019 Variety interview, she opened up about her own experience, stating, “I had a massive stroke – and a nine-day brain bleed."
