After losing her husband suddenly in 2021, Jean Smart says becoming a single parent made her think 'dramatically' differently about her own health. The actress is partnering on a new campaign — Know Plan Go — to urge people to be prepared in case they fall ill with COVID.
."I'm the one running the show now, completely on my own, and if something happens to me, what happens to my kids?"
Smart and Gilliland share two children, a teenager, Forrest, and a grown son, Connor: "My youngest has just turned 15. He's still in school, and it's frightening to think of your kids having to possibly deal with things without you." As concerned as she is about caring for her kids, "they take very good care of me," she says. "My oldest son lives with us right now. He's been helping me a lot since we lost his dad, and so it's been very nice to have him around. I don't know how single working mothers do it. I really truly don't!"Thinking about her kids pushed her to take her heart symptoms more seriously earlier this year, she says.
