Marcia Gay Harden On Protecting LGBTQ+ Children, Including Her Own

Marcia Gay Harden, renowned for her versatile acting career spanning stage and screen, opened up about her life beyond the spotlight in a candid interview with CBS correspondent Seth Doane for Sunday profile. Harden, an Oscar and Tony Award winner, is known for her dedication to her craft rather than seeking celebrity status. In a rare glimpse into her personal life, Harden shared her love for pottery, a passion cultivated during her Broadway days in the 1990s. She embraces her down-to-earth persona, as described by her daughter Eulala, and reflects on the joy of working with clay at the Faenza Art Ceramic Center. She also talked about her latest role as lawyer Margaret Wright in CBS' "So Help Me Todd.” Despite her success, Harden remains protective of her private life. However, Harden recently took a public stand for her family, revealing that all three of her children identify as queer. In a recent interview with People, she expressed that her commitment to activism stems from her children. Eulala, aged 25, identifies as nonbinary, while Hudson, aged 19, is gay. Their twin, Julitta, embraces fluidity in her identity. Harden publicly shared this revelation during the Drag Isn't Dangerous telethon last year. Reflecting on her journey, Harden acknowledged the profound impact her children have had on her understanding of gender nonconformity. With her children as her inspiration and guides, Harden remains steadfast in her commitment to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. #Students & Youth Culture
