39:28Now PlayingSome people spend their whole lives asking permission. Patrika Darbo never did.
At a Hollywood audition in 1968 she was told she had all the talent in the world and none of the look the business wanted. What she did next set the tone for the next 40 years, two Emmys, and one of the most respected character careers in the industry.
You know her as Nancy Wesley on Days of Our Lives, and from In the Line of Fire, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and Roseanne. What you may not know is the woman underneath all of it. Sharp, unfiltered, endlessly funny, and completely unwilling to be anything other than exactly who she is.
She sat down with Denisa to talk about the roles she will never take, the moment she walked away from a job that fell apart without her, the causes she would go to war for, and the love that has lasted more than half a century. Some of what she says will surprise you. All of it will stay with you.
Come meet the real Patrika Darbo.
