Miss Fortune

Lauren Weedman is not okay. She's living what should be the good life in sunny Los Angeles. After a writing gig with the Daily Show, she scored parts in blockbuster movies, which led to memorable recurring roles on HBO's Hung and Looking. She had a loving husband, and an adorable baby boy. In FRESH PERSPECTIVES ON HAVING IT ALL, she turns a piercingly observant, darkly funny lens on the ways her life is actually Not Okay. She tells the story of her husband's affair with their nanny, her first and only threesome, a tattoo gone horribly awry, and how the birth of her son caused mama drama with her own mother and birth mother with laugh-out-loud wit and a powerful undercurrent of vulnerability that pulls off a stunning balance between comedy and tragedy.
