Ever also offered a rare glimpse into her upbringing as the daughter of a Hollywood fixture, attributing her stability to his unwavering presence in her life.

"I knew my dad loved me, I knew it deep in my bones, and I always knew he had my back. I think it’s partly because we basically grew up together," she said.

"Twenty years age difference really isn’t that much, and while I never ever thought of him as a sibling, I did always think of him as my partner. We were in it together. I never wanted to let him down, and I wanted him to trust that I had his back the same way that he had mine."
