My children. Being under the same roof with my kids and having them next to me, safe, always makes me feel better. You know, there\u2019s certain people I like to talk to get my feelings out, but really just &#8211; again &#8211; being connected to other human beings. That\u2019s what gets me through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nRebecca feels she and Eric instilled good values in their daughters from childhood.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe recently told E! News: \u201cI think we&#8217;ve tried to instil just character and making good decisions, keeping themselves safe, setting boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI think they have a pretty good sense of a safe situation and a dangerous situation. And we&#8217;ve been doing this since they were little. So, they know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress is trying to set a good example for her daughters by focusing on her work and setting herself a challenge with the musical adaptation of her 1999 dark comedy Jawbreaker.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cI took many years off to be a stay-at-home mom, so now it&#8217;s really important for me to do this musical and show my kids that this is, number one, what we do as women. We go back to work. We say yes to things that are scary. And also, we do that even when life is hard.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m not a singer [but] I love doing things out of my comfort zone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile she played teenager Jules in the original film &#8211; which sees three high school students accidentally kill their friend in a prank gone wrong &#8211; Rebecca will play Principal Sherwood in Jawbreaker the musical, and she&#8217;s &#8220;so excited&#8221; about the project, which runs at Los Angeles&#8217; Hudson Backstage Theatre from 4 to 20 September.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cI am so excited because I really believe that this movie needs to be turned into a musical. It&#8217;s so campy. It was made to be a musical.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cPeople are going to be blown away by the music in this. It is unexpected. It&#8217;s beautiful. It tells the story in a fresh, new, relevant way without losing the timelessness of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/rebecca-gayheart-hanging-following-eric-danes-death-1451239.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>27 September 2026 Rebecca Gayheart and her daughters are &#8220;hanging in there&#8221;, seven months after Eric Dane&#8216;s death.
