Mia Sara was part of one of the most iconic movies of the 1980s. You know her as Sloane Peterson in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. You also know her from Legend, where at just 15 years old she stepped into a fantasy world opposite Tom Cruise.
In this episode of The Slice of Life Show, Mia and I talk about the reality behind those moments. She reflects on the challenges of working with John Hughes, what it was like entering Hollywood so young, and the experience of making Legend at 15.
We also talk about stepping away from acting, identity, aging, her life with Brian Henson, writing, and the quieter creative life she’s built that includes riding horses.
It’s thoughtful, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation this show was built for.
