 just hours after she and her mother, while on the way to the set, were involved in a car crash in which they were t-boned by a suspected DUI driver.The 15-year-old actress exclusively spoke to ET on Friday and recalled in excruciating detail some of her PTSD moments in the hours after the car accident, the full-blown panic attack that desperately required her father's attention and how the cast and crew helped her get through the traumatic episode. While she took to Instagram on Thursday and explained why that night's episode was "incredibly challenging" for her to film, this is the first time Revord is opening up about why it was so challenging.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When an all-star cast of musicians came together to rehearse their salute to Joni Mitchell for a Washington, D.C. tribute concert in February, in honor of her being the latest annual recipient of the Gershwin Prize for songwriting, executive producer Ken Ehrlich had an early epiphany about where Marcus Mumford’s cover of “Carey” should go. “During the rehearsal, it was obvious to me: that was the opening number.” As you watch the remainder of “Joni Mitchell: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song,” though — as it premieres on PBS tonight, and is available thereafter for streaming on PBS.org and the PBS app — you won’t see Mumford disappearing from the stage for very many extended periods.

And so, as Ehrlich explains it, “When I reached out to him, it probably wasn’t a half hour before he got back to me and said, ‘Of course I’d love to do this.’ And then he quickly followed with: ‘Can I play with the band?’ And he became the resident percussionist, which I didn’t have.
