Actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler was recently observed using a wheelchair at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as she navigates her ongoing battle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The 44-year-old star, who was diagnosed with the chronic autoimmune disease at age 20, appeared frail while being assisted through a terminal.
Sigler, known for her role in The Sopranos, recently returned to television with a guest appearance on Grey's Anatomy, portraying a doctor with MS. She conveyed that resuming work 'feels good' and is 'necessary' for her.
This TV comeback follows a three-year hiatus. Sigler had previously kept her MS diagnosis a secret for 15 years, fearing it would jeopardize her acting career. She publicly disclosed her condition in 2016.
