Estelle Parsons was “a little concerned” when she was first approached about reviving the role of Beverly Harris in “Roseanne.” “I work in the theater all the time,” she explains, and when she reads plays about aging “they’re very often about someone who’s getting dementia” or “they’re just kind of outrageous.” So she decided she wouldn’t return to the ABC sitcom if the writers made her “into one of these people that I know is not what old age is all about.” Luckily, they exceeded her “wildest expectations,” and the actress reprised her role alongside original cast members Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, and Michael Fishman. Watch our exclusive video interview with Parsons above.
