Fans of Mindy Cohn are buzzing with excitement as the beloved actress makes a triumphant return to the spotlight in Apple TV+’s new dramedy “Palm Royale”.

An Inspiring Journey
In 2017, Mindy Cohn revealed her private struggle with breast cancer, a battle that left her feeling “under siege” but ultimately victorious.
Speaking to People magazine, Cohn described the moment she knew something was wrong:
“I just couldn’t go anymore. This was before Uber was really a thing, so I texted my friend Helen and said, Something’s wrong with me. I need help.”
The diagnosis led to a grueling treatment process, including a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Despite her best efforts, the cancer continued to metastasize, leaving Cohn “frustrated and enraged” at her lack of control.
However, her determination paid off, and today she is cancer-free and embracing life with renewed vigor.
No Husband Or Wife For The Legend
Now approaching 58, Cohn embraces aging with grace and humor.
“I think I’m peaking now,” she declared with a mischievous grin. “I think I’m going to look the most adorable in my 60s.”
She credits her positive outlook to not peaking too early in life, allowing her to age more gracefully than some of her peers who struggle with the changing nature of their appearance.
As for her personal life, Cohn remains unmarried and appears to be single in 2024.
While she has had “film hubbies” in her acting roles, including her favorite, Enrico Colantoni, Cohn keeps her romantic life private.
A vocal ally of the LGBTQ+ community, she’s proud to call herself a “f*g h*g” and has been the subject of speculation about her own sexuality.
However, Cohn has not publicly addressed these rumors, preferring to let her work and advocacy speak for themselves.
With “Palm Royale” potentially gearing up for a second season, fans can look forward to seeing more of Mindy Cohn on their screens.
