The ever-tolerent lefties in Hollywood don't have very much actual tolerance
for TV stars with strong Christian and pro-life beliefs. Which I guess is
really only a surprise if you haven't been paying attention.
A lesser star might hide her politics. But where's the fun in that? The lovely and talented Patricia Heaton is no shrinking violet, that's for damn sure.
Patricia Heaton Has Lost Potential Roles Because of Her Politics
Known around left-leaning Hollywood for her conservative stances on weighty issues like abortion and stem cells, 'Everybody Loves Raymond' star Patricia Heaton is happy to explain how important her Christian faith is to her and how it shapes her views and career choices.
"My feeling is all these things come from God and as long as I know I'm staying in line with Him, I don't have to worry if there is backlash," she told me during a visit to AOL's New York offices. "God will open any doors he wants to open and if he closes doors that's fine too."
Saying her Hollyweird colleagues equate her with conservative "lunatics" Ms. Heaton acknowledges that her political views hamper her acting career.
"We know for a fact there are some people who have said they wouldn't want to work with us because of our politics," she said, with her husband David Hunt adding, "We get lumped in with lunatics."
Well, it's not like she's a communist…
"Mr. Welch? It's Senator McCarthy on line 2."
Yeah I know, the Irony Meter doesn't swing left.
It must be tough though, enduring the brickbats and whispered innuendos. Come out gay and you're some kind of hero. Come out conservative and you're a freak.
At least she's got a sense of humor about it. If the pantywaist poobahs of Mulholland Drive won't hire her, she'll make her own damn movies!
Patricia has teamed up with her director-husband to produce and distribute their own show, 'Versailles,' a new 8-part comedy web series airing on My Damn Channel. Patricia plays a deceased B-movie actress whose presence looms large over her two children (one played by David) as they produce a public access talk show.
"I don't think I could have afforded her if we weren't married," David jokes. "I was a bigger star then she was when I met her. She owes me. I took a decade off my career to raise the kids. Plus, a big bonus is she gets to sleep with the director."
And the director gets to sleep with Patricia Heaton!
Some guys have all the luck.
