Graham isn’t like every other Hollywood actor or actress because she doesn’t go around with millions of men and have 70 public relationships. In fact Graham has been quoted. “ I’ve made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actually life.” (Us Weekly: Oct 23, 2000) This is because of the fact that our friend Lauren has had no “real” relationships.

“One of the things I like about the show is it redefines the idea of what it is to be a mother, which at its most basic level is to take care of your child. It doesn’t mean you have to look like the ladies in the Lysol Commercials.”

“Growing up as an only child with a single parent is probably why I’m an actress”

About sharing the same initials with her character.

“It means that if the show gets cancelled, I keep all the monogrammed towels.”
