Episode 79: Lauren Weedman
The actress (Hung, True Blood, Date Night, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Reno 911) and solo theatre artist (Bust) opens up about growing up in a family uncomfortable with emotion, her food and weight issues and the manipulative, alcoholic 23 year-old who wouldn't leave her alone when she was 16. She also talks about a lie that snowballed out of control, and why, for the longest time, she couldn't cop to it.
