 Annie Potts says she’s like 'Humpty Dumpty' after 'about 26 surgeries'


Annie Potts, 73, is reflecting on a life-changing car accident she experienced at age 21 in 1973 and how it shaped her career and outlook. The Ghostbusters actress told Woman's World that the incident led to extensive injuries from the waist down and has resulted in about 26 surgeries over the years, including a third knee replacement on the same knee. 


She said she has spent a lot of time thinking about how things played out and that while it has been hard at times, it has made her appreciate her life more.


Potts shared that she originally thought she would go into musical theater, but the accident changed that path and required a long recovery with a lot of early repair work. 


She described herself as being like Humpty Dumpty, put back together over time. She said she credits part of her resilience to her father and that the experience itself gave her a choice in how to respond, and she chose to get up and keep going.


That shift led her to screen acting, and she did not make her Broadway debut until 2009 when she replaced Hope Davis in God of Carnage at age 56. She said if someone had told her at 21 that it would take more than 40 years to get to Broadway, she might have been deterred, but when it finally happened it was especially sweet. 


She added that she remains grateful for the opportunities she has had, while also acknowledging that as an actress in her 70s she has experienced ups and downs and moments of self-doubt. When asked about retirement, she said she has no plans to stop acting anytime soon.
