	Description:		Bosom friends, we are here with Megan Follows. You Might Know Her From Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Wynona Earp, Heartland, The Facts of Life, Hockey Night, Shania: A Life in Eight Albums, and Reign. Megan saddled up with us to talk about putting on the sensible boots of L.M. Montgomery’s literary heroine, Anne Shirley three times for the iconic television adaptations of the Anne of Green Gables books. We also chatted with Megan about Anne and Diana’s friendship through the queer lens, LM’s personal diaries and alleged dalliance with a female fan, growing up in a theatrical family in Canada, plotting murders and rapes as Catherine de Medici on the CW series Reign, and playing Jo’s cousin on a potential Facts of Life spin-off. This one was just exquisite. May we all toast our raspberry cordial to Megan Follows!
