played teen Haley Dunphy on the hit sitcom “Modern Family” for 11 seasons, has some not-so-fun memories of her time on the show — thanks to a string of serious health issues.
The 32-year-old recently revealed on co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s “Dinner’s On Me” podcast that her battle with kidney dysplasia had a significant impact on her experience playing the eldest Dunphy daughter.“I was always focused on essentially just surviving and knowing my lines and being there 100% when they yelled ‘action,’ and then immediately collapsing when they yelled ‘cut,’ ” Hyland told Ferguson, 47.The “Vampire Academy” actress has received two kidney transplants over the years.Hyland recalled a particular episode that featured the cast pushing a car — the actress was not only on dialysis at the time, she was on crutches, too, while suffering from gout.“They put me in high heels.
