Get to know Patricia Heaton<\/h3>\n

When Patricia Heaton<\/a> was trying to break through in acting, she wasn’t sure it would work out, and she questioned if that was what God wanted for her life. Patricia grew up just outside of Cleveland. From a young age, her Catholic faith was an important part of her life. After high school she attended The Ohio State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in drama. She pursued her dream of acting by moving to New York City where she continued studying drama. She and fellow students created an acting troupe, which eventually took her to Los Angeles, where she struggled to get her career to take off.<\/p>\n

During that season, she traveled to Mexico to visit an orphanage with a church group, and when she returned, she felt great peace about her acting and said to God,

I’m willing to let go of that if you want me to go back to Mexico or go into the mission field. But make it very clear that’s the direction you want me to go in. —Patricia Heaton<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]And He did make it clear. Once she felt at peace that her identity didn’t rest solely in whether she made it as an actor, her career began to take off.<\/p>\n

She landed a role and went on to build a name for herself, portraying Debra Barone on the hit CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond from 1996 to 2005 and then as Frances “Frankie” Heck on the ABC sitcom The Middle from 2009 to 2018. She has delighted viewers and even been recognized with seven Primetime Emmy® Award nominations, including two Emmy® wins for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She also won a Daytime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Culinary Program for her work as host of Patricia Heaton Parties. In 2012, she had the honor of receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame May 22, 2012.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”img-column-padding” width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”79232″ img_size=”medium” css=”.vc_custom_1669610234764{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
