Hilarie Burton Morganis loving her gray hair.
TheOne Tree Hillalum, 41, appeared onThe Viewon Thursday and told longtime co-hostJoy Beharthat she’s “growing it all out.”
“It’s a weird thing when you were a teen drama actress, and the expectation to be 17 forever is out there,” she said. “And I didn’t necessarily like my younger years. I dealt with some dark stuff in my younger years. So this idea that you can level up and get to the place where you’re the salty one in the room was exciting to me.”

“And my heroes were Bea Arthur and Ruth Gordon andBetty White,” theDrama Queenspodcast host added. “That’s who I wanted to be. So going gray early had been a relief.”
“Well you’re on trend, a lot of women are doing it,” Behar told Burton Morgan, who replied, “Well good, yeah. We’re going to take over the world.”
“I’ll do it with this color,” Behar, 80, said, referring to her ginger hair. “I’ll take over the world with this color.”
“It takes all kinds,” Burton Morgan replied.
