Sharing the Stage: The Life and Times of the Follows Family

Megan Follows became a star in "Anne of Green Gables," but she's only one of four siblings and their acting parents who have excelled in the entertainment world.  Life and Times presents the story of a remarkable Canadian show business family in The Follows Family: Sharing the Stage.

Sharing the Stage is the story of a family dynasty in theatre, movies, and TV.  Parents Dawn and Ted were stage and TV actors with endless credits.  Their four children all followed suit - Megan as an actress, Laurence became a stage producer, Edwina is an accomplished TV writer, and Samantha also took up acting.  This is an inside look at growing up in the entertainment world.

Ted Follows and Dawn Greenhalgh met and committed themselves to lifelong careers as actors, even when their personal lives were extremely turbulent.  Their four children grew up in this theatrical world, but were never pushed into it.

Sharing the Stage is the touching profile of a family that lives the life of high drama, with its emotional ups and downs, ranging from moments of high achievement to crushing disappointments.  The family retains a closeness where rivalry is out.  The Follows family are each other's greatest fans.

Original Air Date - March 8, 1999
