Sarah Hyland chats with ET’s Denny Directo at the ‘Variety’ Power of Women Awards in Los Angeles, where she received the first-ever ‘Variety’ Courage Award. The actress, who’s a domestic abuse survivor, says she was ‘shocked’ to receive the honor, awarded for her work to raise awareness in domestic violence and animal welfare. Sarah also says it was a ‘special moment’ to be presented the award by her ‘Modern Family’ mom, Julie Bowen. She praises Julie as a ‘beast of a woman,’ years after she helped Sarah exit her abusive relationship.
