Mayim Bialik: “Relatable, Refreshing and a Bit of an Unlikely Rebel…”

Starwatch Byline covered Mayim Bialik’s return to South Florida back in May and now she graces the August cover of The Boca Raton Observer.  The lifestyle and community magazine reporter Chelsea Greenwood attended the event and wrote about the Emmy-nominated actress.

In her opening Bialik shared with the David Posnack JCC audience of 500, that Florida was the place where her grandparents retired, “she used to spend summer in Sunrise playing with her second cousins. She learned how to shuffle cards, play gin rummy and shuffle-board…” .  As she continued to share with the capacity crowd, by evening’s end, Bialik had discussed her upbringing, faith, life in Hollywood and path to neuroscience.

She also included her reasons for returning to acting after having her children, earning her Ph.d. and authoring two books left which left Greenwood with the impression that “she’s (Bialik) a lot of things you wouldn’t expect from a Hollywood star, and that makes her relatable, refreshing and a bit of an unlikely rebel. She lives life her way and she’s not shy about defending her values.”

On her current work on “The Big Bang Theory”, Bialik was asked about her co-star and multiple Emmy winner, Jim Parsons. She shared that “Jim is terrific. He’s very professional. He’s very meticulous with his lines and his acting in general. He’s friendly and has a wicked sense of humor. He’s a very generous actor…He always lets me take my time if I’m working something out – he’s never impatient with me.”

 

 

 

She also confirmed her return for season nine which had left many fans wondering following the season eight finale when Amy Farrah Fowler “decided to take some time” in what appeared to be a break-up. “I don’t know that means breaking up, but that’s how most people are taking it.” declared Bialik.
