Nettles is also the host of Fox's Farmer Wants a Wife and won an Emmy for her outstanding original song, 'Life Is Sweet,' featured in PBS' American Anthems.
Reflecting on her career, Nettles discussed the current momentum she feels and her upcoming projects. She will be starring alongside Kevin Bacon in the Prime Video series The Bondsman and is involved in the development of a Broadway musical centered around the intriguing figure of Giulia Tofana, an Italian professional poisoner.
As Nettles approaches her 50th birthday in September, she shared her positive outlook on life. She feels blessed and believes that health is true wealth. She noted how aging allows individuals to focus on their well-being in a new and different way. Despite the numerical milestone, Nettles expressed feeling young at heart and ready for new adventures.
