Lauren Collins on her path from Degrassi to her new show My Dead Mom
In a Q interview, the Canadian actor talks about taking on her most mature role yet
Lauren Collins became famous for playing a gutsy, outspoken high school student on Degrassi: The Next Generation. But now, as she approaches her 40s, she's matured into roles that portray women with new kinds of problems, such as when to have a baby, how not to work so much, and what to do about the ghost of your mother who won't shut up. Collins sits down with Q's Tom Power to talk about her new Crave series, My Dead Mom, and how it strikes the perfect balance between anger, humour, grief and the conflicting emotions around losing a parent who drove you crazy.
