The actor/director and mom of two, Lowe, 44, is a rather healthy individual. She works out regularly. she eats cleans - overall, she's healthier than most. I know this because I know her. Lowe and I have been friends since we met over a decade ago, when I first started covering Signed, Sealed, Delivered for Parade when the show was still an episodic series before transitioning to two-hour movies. As such, Lowe's diagnosis of Stage 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma came as a surprise to everyone, including Lowe. Currently undergoing chemotherapy, Lowe, who is Scottish and Chinese, is eventually looking at a double mastectomy, radiation treatments, and later implants/reconstruction surgery as part of her path to recovery.
Lowe was the first recipient of Hallmark Media's Make Her Mark program, a mentorship program that trains women in areas of leadership behind the camera. The initiative was the brainchild of another Hallmark actress, Ashley Williams. Lowe shadowed a female director on a Hallmark film before eventually taking on the helm of her own. Her first directing foray for Hallmark was Shifting Gears with The Groomsmen'sTyler Hynes and Wynonna Earp's Katherine Barrell.

She followed up her directorial duties, going behind the camera again on the Hallmark Christmas movie This Time Each Year and then on the franchise Hannah Swensen Mystery series, Pie to Die For. She has since directed projects for Lifetime and Roku, with more projects for Hallmark on the horizon. The studios and entertainment industry professionals have been supportive and accommodating to Lowe amid her diagnosis, allowing her to work remotely while she undergoes treatment. "The entire Hallmark family embraced me fully, and told me that they had my back," Lowe wrote in an essay for People magazine.
Lowe invites readers to join her on her journey as she posts about it on her social media channels and to share their own stories. Follow her on Instagram at @officialcrystallowe and @RealCrystalLowe on X.
