Gail O'Grady Lives Out Loud

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Gail O'Grady Lives Out Loud

Gail O'Grady has had a 20-year career on both the big and small screens, but she has a freshness to her. She seems like a newcomer.

People thought she was an overnight success when she was on "NYPD Blue" in 1993, but by then she'd already been working in films and TV for six years.

This weekend, people will get a new glimpse of her when she stars in the Hallmark Channel movie "Living Out Loud."

In it, she plays a high school choir teacher diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The diagnosis turns her life and her family's life upside-down.

However, in the midst of her health crisis, she reconnects with the musical life she had lost, gaining a strength she never knew she had.

O'Grady promises this "isn't your typical warm and fuzzy Hallmark project."

She's pleased with the amount of knowledge she gained about the disease, the treatment, and what victims and families go through with it.
