When the actress was working in London in 2018, she “started feeling very woozy” and was “forgetting everything.”For a long time, Blythe Danner kept the diagnosis from her children.After two surgeries and years of looking for alternative treatments, the “Meet the Parents” actress went under a third surgery in 2020, which successfully removed the cancerous tissue. She also went through the process of radiation and chemotherapy.
“It was scary. And it felt really eerie because it was so similar [to my dad’s],” the Goop founder said. “She went through it with so much grace. I was amazed at how strong she was able to be.”
