‘Happy’s Place’ Actress Melissa Peterman Discusses Her Life: ‘My Dream Came True’


Melissa Peterman sits down with Closer to give an exclusive interview on her new show 'Happy’s Place', her friend Reba McEntire and her journey so far.

“I didn’t meet her until the table read,” Melissa, 53, told Closer at the recent Television Critics Press Tour. Today, Melissa and Reba are back on television together with the new hit sitcom Happy’s Place. So when Isabella [ Belissa Escobedo], the half sister, comes in, I think there’s a momentary feeling of, “Oh great, I have to compete with another person,” but also “Maybe this is another person I can connect with!” Ultimately, it’s about these three women in very different walks of life, coming from different generations, that are going to learn from each other.
