So are you going to age comfortably and happily?

Gilbert left Los Angeles and moved to Michigan with husband Timothy Busfield in 2013.

She soon stopped coloring her hair and receiving Botox and facial fillers.

In 2015 she had her breast implants removed.

In the five years that I was in Michigan, all of that stopped.

I stopped everything and just focused on being as physically and emotionally healthy as I could.

Gilbert and Busfield now live in upstate New York.
