“I conferred with a neurologist who has helped me and the writers make sure we are as authentic as possible with the details,” Moore said of the moment. “I discovered that, oftentimes, if someone suffering from dementia has done something repetitively in the past, as Rebecca has with playing music, then their cognitive reserve makes that same skill available to them, even years into a diagnosis. I loved that Rebecca was able to rise to the occasion and sing such a meaningful song at her daughter’s wedding.”
“Mandy Moore is killing the game, son,” he said. “She is killing the game and she deserves to be recognized.”
