EP 53: Rebecca Durance Hine: Teacher Turned Actor

Second Act Actors

Rebecca Durance Hine is a second act actor and cancer survivor and she joins me on this episode to discuss acting, cancer, gratitude, people pleasing and making the most of the present moment.

Like a lot of second act actors, Rebecca was interested in acting from a young age. She studied theatre at university and spent six months after graduation looking for acting work but eventually lost her confidence and decided to get a ‘real job’ instead. However, at the age of only 28, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and realised that life was too short to not pursue her dreams so when she recovered, she threw herself back into the acting industry alongside her day job.

She tells me about how she was able to recover from cancer with her mental and emotional health still so intact and how her sense of gratitude has shifted her perspective on life. We then talk about why she felt pressured to give up acting in the first place and the advice that she would give to others in the same situation.

This episode is full of words of wisdom, but you’ll definitely want to listen to the end to catch Rebecca’s final words of wisdom on not holding onto regrets.
