In 2019, Madylin Sweeten talked about her backstory in an interview with Voyage LA. She explained that falling in love with her husband helped her find a great community in the Loft Ensemble theater group.
Sweeten said, “As a young woman, living a normal life seemed trivial, useless, and impossible to me.This lead to a quite adventurous lifestyle in my youth. By the time I was nineteen, I had lived the lives of many people. I was lucky enough to see the world, meet my heroes, and work on a prime time television series for nine years. Once my twenties came knocking at my door, I had spent so much time chasing adventures that I had forgotten to take care of my mental health.”
She continued that she was “chasing escapes” and “directionless” but “I met a man, a wonderful man, who saw all my flaws and embraced them. Along with him came his boisterous theater company the Loft Ensemble. There I made lasting friendships that turned my life around.”
In the summer of 2023, she shared that the play that she has done set design for, Penthesilea, opened. She sounded really proud of what she had done. On July 13th, 2023, she wrote on Instagram, “Penthesilea has its world premiere this Friday and I couldn’t be more excited. It has been a pleasure to bring these stories to life. These women were written out of the history books and we are reviving them. Also, we just look hella bad*ss. Hope to see you there!!!”
In Sweeten’s Instagram bio, she has a link to another Instagram account, @everybodylovesfurniture. She is employed by a company called The Joneses, which makes “custom sofas” and “custom beds” according to Instagram.
While this might seem like a bit of a departure from acting, Madylin Sweeten is still being artistic, and she seems to be happy with her life.
Sweeten’s Instagram is also inspiring as she posts a lot of videos of her working hard at the gym. Fans who loved her on Everybody Loves Raymond will love feeling like they get to see the real her on her social media account.
