Holland Taylor comes out at 72
Actress reveals relationship with younger woman
Actress Holland Taylor publicly came out during an interview with WNYC last week.
Taylor, 72, revealed she is currently in a relationship with a woman. She is known for her role as Judge Roberta Kittleson on “The Practice” and Evelyn Harper on “Two and a Half Men.”
When discussing her relationship, Taylor made it clear she did not consider herself coming out.
“I’d like to be able to just say that, without having to stop and say, ‘So have you come out?'” Taylor said. “No, I haven’t come out because I am out. I live out.”
Despite “living out,” Taylor mentioned that talking about her sexuality still made her nervous.
“I feel very very shy of it,” Taylor said. “Most of my relationships have been with women and I don’t like talking about them because I don’t like talking about the politics of it all because I’m not political about it.”
Taylor also divulged that her significant other is a younger woman but chose not to reveal her identity.
“There’s a very big age difference between us which I’m sure shocks a lot of people, and it startles me,” Taylor said. “But as they say, ‘If she dies, she dies.'”
