Molly Bernard Facts

1. Her grandfather was the co-founder of the renowned Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.
2. Molly has credited her deep love of acting to her grandfather, who was her best friend, and whom she started studying with when she was 6 years old. She has recalled her earliest memories of him yelling from the back of the small theater, where he used to teach class, about how he could not hear her and that she was fierce enough to speak up. Molly has affirmed that her grandfather has always been with her, even after his demise, and particularly when she has been doing a play on stage, she has felt to be in the deepest kind of communion with him.
3. She has pointed out that she has found Lauren Heller to be an extremely fun character to play and her trait of loving her own self unconditionally has emboldened Molly to pursue the same kind of ferocity in her own life.
4. Bernard has revealed that working in Younger with one of her all-time favorite actresses Sutton Foster, has been so dream-like, that she has often had to pinch herself, having found herself getting tongue-tied around her.
5. Molly has disclosed that when she was 14 years old, she had sent Sutton Foster a handwritten letter addressed to her Thoroughly Modern Millie stage-door dressing room that had the message of how she was Molly’s hero and how she found the star to be incredibly talented. Molly had been thrilled when Foster had autographed and written her back on her headshot, thanking her and advising her to follow her dreams.
6. She has stated that she has loved acting, however, if she had not decided to immerse herself into it, she may have been a civil rights attorney.
7. In January 2022, along with Hilary Duff, Molly got the matching tattoo of a Saturn on her forearm.
