In 2023, Season 9 of the show featured Dandelion, who was revealed to be actor Alicia Witt.
The invitation to perform paved the way for Witt to connect with her fans.
Becoming Dandelion was a perfect timing for Witt.
She started her treatment in December 2021 and finished in April 2022.
As fate would have it, the show’s invitation arrived right after Witt’s breast reconstruction surgery.
“To have received that email as I was waking up out of it (surgery) …
I was in such a haze I wasn’t even quite sure till the next morning.
I think I was eating my breakfast and I was like, “Did I dream that?

Being diagnosed with cancer wasn’t the only traumatic experience that struck her life in 2021.
“Our last words to each other were ‘I love you.’
That part was simple; never in doubt.
They loved me so.
I loved them so,” she posted on herFacebook.
And they’re all going to happen at once and people are going to know about it.'
One thing, I was not given a choice in the matter about people knowing about it.
She said, “There’s power in sharing that story.
