...like the fact that her mom and grandfather are "rich" and raised her in a town that is safe and carefree for people of any age.

In these NBC interviews, I'd be pretty sure it is the writers and hosts--not Ms. Boone herself--that bring out the retirement community background and get to the subject of The Villages, where they prejudge it's nothing but old, "rich", white, righty, wrinklies.

The NBC hosts almost make more of that than her work on the television series--a role that thousands of talented, pretty young actresses would do "anything" to get, including getting lip injections that look swollen like they got a million bee stings, or grotesque DDD implants that swell up to the shoulders in front. Her natural beauty without false eyelashes etc. is enviable to those who'd do anything to have her role.

Hate to break it to you all, most people have never heard of TV, GM or her mother. If growing up in a retirement community continually comes up it's because she somewhere along the way put it in her bio. Since then she has her own accomplishments, she should drop it.

On her own she has landed a spot on a hit show, she spent 13 years to get where she is, I don't think it had anything to do with family connections. If the family pulled strings it wouldn't have taken 13 years.
