About 24 hours before Mandy Moore’s family drama “This is Us” aired its series finale on NBC, the actress was a jumble of emotions about how this one major ending in her life is giving way to a whole new chapter of beginnings.
For six seasons, Moore has gained critical acclaim playing the family matriarch, Rebecca Pearson, on “This Is Us” over different ages and generations. With the show concluding this week, though, she's set to resume her career as a musician and songwriter, kicking off her first major tour in over a decade to promote her album, “In Real Life.”
“I feel really grateful to have the tour to process my feelings because I think I might be curled up in the fetal position in my house otherwise,” Moore, 38, told The News & Observer, the day after the series finale was screened for a VIP audience in Los Angeles.
