“Some of you seem very concerned about the silver in my hair,” Heaton said. “But let me just say: there’s some things that come along in life that I’ve just decided to embrace, and that doesn’t include boxed hair dye.”<\/p>\n
Heaton continued, “The people in my life love me no matter what color my hair is, and maybe we could all use a little more of just accepting what is and being grateful.”<\/p>\n
The Middle<\/em> star previously celebrated National Mature Women’s Day on April 9. “A little reminder that getting older has its perks, and today we celebrate every single one of them!” she wrote<\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\nLast year, Heaton reunited with her Everybody Loves Raymond<\/em> costars to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beloved sitcom. In the Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion<\/em> special, she shared how naturally her character, Debra, came to her.<\/p>\n“I didn’t really have to do research, and I didn’t really have to do acting,” she explained, “because it was what we were all dealing with in our marriages. And so, fortunately, we got to monetize that.”<\/p>\n
Heaton went on to explain how desperate she was to land a steady TV job. “I was going through \u2014 and I think why the show worked, we were all going through \u2014 what the Barone family was going through in our lives,” the actress said. “I had a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old in my life. I had a babysitting issue when I was coming to the audition, I needed to get back. I was cutting out coupons for 50 cents off two packs of Ball Park Franks, so I needed the gig.”<\/p>\n\n![\"Patricia](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/68Tj2VVBr4pnJH0Gklm9pA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/f5ccf0d80e483eb45958ad4776744b50\"\/)
