In front of the camera, it seemed that the award-winning actress had everything together, but as soon as the film stopped rolling, everything would unveil.

Gless shared:

"I never drank while I was at work. But as soon as they would yell 'wrap' every day, a styrofoam cup with scotch and ice was put in my hand, and everyone would call it Sharon's apple juice."
