During a recent conversation with her 9-1-1 co-star Bryan Safi to promote her upcoming book Inheriting Magic, the actress described how she discovered her mum Patricia Mae had passed away when she landed back in the U.S. following a work trip in June 2012. Patricia Mae, who had been battling cancer, was 67. "The part that I didn't put in the book is that actually the press knew that my mom had passed before I did," she told the audience at a Los Angeles bookstore, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
