Never have we ever enjoyed an interview so much! BUST spoke with activist and actor Lily D. Moore about disability representation, what she’s up to now, and her future goals. LilyDMooreOfficial mindykaling NeverHaveIEver
For fans of the Mindy Kaling-created Netflix series Never Have I Ever, it’s probably safe to say that when Lily D. Moore walked on screen as Rebecca in Season 1, she also walked into our hearts. Moore plays the sister of Paxton Hall-Yoshida—the main character Devi’s love interest—and she’s immediately endearing, from her high-fashion sensibilities to her low-key drags. “It’s really fun playing a character who has different personalities,” Moore tells me by phone.
ADVERTISEMENT The high school-set series—scheduled to premiere its fourth and final season in 2023—is one of the most inclusive on television, another reason playing Rebecca feels monumental to Moore. “It’s not every day you see a person with a disability like me, someone with Down syndrome, on TV,” she says. “Just seeing that can really be impactful.” That representation is something she factors into every role she considers.
ADVERTISEMENT Our chat takes place just weeks after Moore reached a major personal milestone: starting college. In September, she moved from her home in Atlanta—where she lived with her parents, was active in her church youth group, and doted on her cats Lester and Hazel and her dog Charlie—and settled into the campus dorms at South Carolina’s Clemson University.

Rep. Gwen Moore: Getting Trump’s Taxes “was like pulling teeth”Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that his tax returns were under audit and therefore he could not release them to the public. He then spent years fighting to keep them secret from Congress. But he finally lost that battle on two fronts -- when the Supreme Court cleared the way for the House Ways & Means Committee to obtain six years of his tax records last month, and when the Committee voted this week to release them to the public. “It was like pulling teeth,” Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin tells Ali. We now know that Donald Trump was not under audit specifically during his first two years in office, despite an IRS rule that states, “the individual tax returns for the president and the vice president are subject to mandatory review.” Says Moore, “The fact that IRS didn’t audit is a puzzler.”
