'Crushed. Heartbroken. This woman. This ray of sunshine. Pure light. And goodness,' she continued.
She described her elder costar as a 'TV icon.'
'Bold. Funny. Always in on the joke, usually before the rest of the room. Always holding a deeper perspective on a character’s reality than what was on the page,' she continued.
'When I lived in a box that made it deeply difficult to be a woman who could exist as one … and … breathe? Markie came in with arms to envelop me and eyes that fired both kindness and lightning storms into the room as she held me, and likewise called other women into her safe space. She did it all with a smile and a laugh, and with more wisdom than most of us could ever hope to learn or muster.'
Sophia didn't explain her comments further, but she may have been referring to the working conditions on their series Chicago P.D., which she described to Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast in 2018 as a 'consistent onslaught barrage of abusive behavior.'

She continued: 'I loved her on Night Court. I blushed when she came to Chicago. To play MY onscreen mom!? And I loved her in our hair and makeup trailer and at cozy dinners over endless laughter and as I watched her eyes light up when she spoke of her husband and her daughters. When she called me an “uncommon woman” I melted.'
