Katey Sagal is active on Instagram and Twitter as she promotes her series, ABC's "Rebel." She spoke with AP Entertainment about her Erin Brokovich-inspired role and praised Rebel's character, saying she was "proud" to represent both "working moms" and women of her age. TV Insider posed the question, "How excited are you to have a show built around you at this stage of your career?" Sagal answered, "It's groundbreaking. Men of a certain age have always been in leading roles, but you don't find many women. I'm in my 60s. Women my age can be hot, vital, vibrant and smart — all the things that we are."
Variety spoke with Sagal about her role as a "blue-collar legal advocate," and the actor said that Rebel "really has that voice for people who don't feel they have one." On a more personal note, Katey Sagal shared that she must "put aside [her] more maternal instinct" to play Rebel. Sagal characterized Rebel by saying, "She doesn't handle things the way Katey would handle things, so I'm constantly having to put aside some of my, 'Well I'll listen to your point of view' — because that's how I function in the world — and really, constantly remind myself she has a thing about justice."
As always, Sagal is dedicated to portraying her character in the truest light. She has excellent intuition about herself in relation to her roles, and she's shared her wisdom in a way that resonates with people.
