Tony Award winner and Dancing with the Stars alum Marissa Jaret Winokur doesn’t let anything – not even cancer – stand in the way of her dreams.
by Laura ShippMarissa Jaret Winokur has
always been a girl with
a big personality and big
dreams. High on her list of goals in
life – making it big as an actress and
one day becoming a mom. But at 27,
just as she was starting to gain her footing
on Broadway, her dreams were
derailed when she was diagnosed with
cervical cancer.
Marissa, who admits to having lived
a charmed life, was naturally shocked
when a routine Pap test led to a cancer
diagnosis. She tells Coping®, “I lived in
a little one-bedroom apartment in West
Hollywood, and I remember it seemed
like the walls were caving in. I felt like
I was being suffocated by the room.”
