Years after learning to have a serious illness, Emma Caulfield decided to publicize her story. The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star is a fighter.
Her fight against the disease, Emma Caulfield has decided to publicize it. The actress, who played Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dotti on WandaVision, has revealed she has multiple sclerosis. “A long time ago, I had no health problemsconfided the actress in the columns of Vanity Fair. I woke up one morning and felt like I had a million ants on the left side of my face.” Emma Caulfield then went to see a first doctor then others until a doctor announced the terrible diagnosis to her. “It was an out of body experience, she remembered. I told myself that it was not possible. The doctor was very factual about it. It was kind of a nightmare.”
The actress, whose father suffered from multiple sclerosis, explained that she waited several years before speaking because she “didn’t want to offer anyone the chance to no longer” engage him on the shoots. It is therefore with the effects of her illness that Emma Caulfield filmed WandaVision. But now she wants to talk about multiple sclerosis. “I’m so sick of not being honest. And beyond that, my daughter changed my perspective, as I think any parent can attest, she added. I know she is 30% more likely to have this disease. She is 6 years old. She just started school… It made me think of her and how happy and active she was, and she’s just such a remarkable little creature.”
Emma Caulfield: “Even if it affects my ability to find work…”
The actress is set to reprise her roles in the upcoming Marvel series ‘Agatha: Coven of Chaos’ and shared that she feels “good right now”. “It’s a strange thing to say when you’re told a diagnosis like this, but honestly my attitude doesn’t crumble under the fear of ‘what if’ or ‘what can happen’. . I just gotta keep going”, philosophized Emma Caulfield in the columns of Vanity Fair. The actress decided to speak to help other patients. “Even if it affects my ability to find workit is better that I express myself at least on this subject and that I am there to try to help the Foundation and other groups that do research”she added, explaining finding Selma Blair “inspiring” in the face of illness.
