Actress Sarah Chalke is opening up about her experience joining the cast of the hit sitcomRoseanne, which originally had a nine-season run until 1997.
During a February 2026 appearance on actorJesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast, Dinner's On Me, Chalke shared she was 16 years old when she was chosen to play Becky Conners after the character's original actress, Lecy Goranson, left the show following season 5. She recalled being interviewed by a professional publication regarding her role on Roseanne for the first time when she was 17 years old. She said that following the interview, she was tasked to model for a photoshoot.
"I sat down and did the interview and I was in grade 12 at this point. And I talked about what I love to do and hanging out with my friends and hiking and all these things, outdoors. And then they did the photo shoot. And I didn't understand that the photoshoot is like a fashion photoshoot and it has nothing to do with the interview," said Chalke during the podcast episode.
She suggested that she felt uncomfortable about the clothes she was requested to wear for said photoshoot.
"The clothes were just getting smaller and smaller until I was in like hot pants, platform heels, a tiny little situation, like so much makeup. And then they're handing me a cat. And I'm holding this kitten and now they're like, 'Now pout,'" said Chalke during the interview. "And I'm literally like sitting there like holding the kitten, pouting, wearing very little, tear comes down my cheek. The photographer's like, 'Are you okay?'"
Chalke recalled telling the photographer that she wasn't alright because she felt as though her friends from high school would have judged her for it.
"All I could visualize was my friends in Canada going like, 'What are you doing?'" said Chalke while speaking to Ferguson.
Chalke also said that she was the only Roseanne star who would do press for the sitcom while she was on the cast. According to Chalke, most of her Roseanne castmates were "super private" and "kept their private lives private."
