On a recent episode of “Loose Women,” Sally Phillips, Preston’s co-star, revealed that Preston kept her breast cancer battle a secret while they filmed the movie, according to the Mirror.
“She was so bloomin’ beautiful. And so vibrant and you would never have known. She was so professional,” Phillips said.
Preston suddenly passed away at the age of 57 in July of 2020 after a long two-year battle with breast cancer. This current movie would be her last project.
Phillips shared that stars like Chadwick Boseman and Helen McCrory in the Hollywood world were secretive while battling an illness.
“That’s what people do — they go through it on their own because of worries about insurance for the film, and working again afterwards,” Phillips added.
“Off the Rails” shares the story of three women who go on a journey across Europe from their youth while they honor their late friend, whose last wish was to go on a trip with her teenage daughter in her absence.
