Bowen, 55, has looked back on her upbringing with a real estate developer father who taught her a "golden rule" about success.

Bowen reprises her character, Virginia Venit, in the comedy classic's second installment. Within the first four minutes of the film, Venit — who's since married Happy, welcomed five kids together and started a family — gets killed off, a tragedy caused by her husband.

Meanwhile, Sandler and Bowen reacted to Bowen’s shocking “Happy Gilmore 2” death during an interview with Entertainment Weekly published shortly after the movie’s release. The “Modern Family” star suggested that her character needed to die to drive Happy and the events of the film.

The long-awaited sequel sees Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald and Julie Bowen reprise their roles alongside a long list of A-list stars.

After nearly 30 years, Happy Gilmore is getting back to the golf course. Adam Sandler revives his titular character in "Happy Gilmore 2," taking the monster cast that he had in the first one and expanding it.
