However, she added that her overall filming experience “was fun” and she ”loved it.”
Lori Loughlin recently made an appearance on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'
The actress has stepped away from the spotlight for a while now since her role in the 2019 college admissions scandal. The 'When Calls the Heart' star recently made an appearance in an episode of Larry David's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' where she played a heightened version of herself who is rejected from country clubs around Los Angeles due to her tarnished reputation following a scandal.
Jeff Schaffer, executive producer for the show, said they had pitched the idea to Loughlin who had been enthusiastic about playing the part in the show.
“We pitched the general concept of: ‘You get into the club, and then we find out how ultra-competitive you are, and how you’re willing to bend the rules or break them,’ ” Schaffer recalled to The Hollywood Reporter. “And then once she agreed, we really started hammering out the details of the script.” “She saw how funny it was and was into it immediately,” Schaffer added.
