Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Megan Follows played the precocious and lovable Anne in "Anne of Green Gables." She then appeared in shows like "Second Chances," "Murder, She Wrote," "The Fugitive," "The X Files," "CSI," "Lie To Me," "House," and the list goes on. In 2013, she took on another starring role as Catherine de Medici in a show about Mary Queen of Scotts called "Reign." Then from 2009 to 2021, Follows also starred on "Heartland" as Lily Borden (via IMDb).

Follows truly enjoyed the time she spent on "Anne of Green Gables." As the actress told Stuff, "Anne will always have a very dear place in my heart. I feel incredibly fortunate to have played her and I am always touched by how much my portrayal of this strong, iconic, young female character has meant to people." 

However, Follows career has certainly moved on from Anne. Not only did she gain a new following of fans for her performance in "Reign," she also got the chance to direct a few episodes. "I definitely look forward to continuing to develop my skills and my craft as a director and I'm excited for more opportunities to work in that capacity," she added. It seems as though Follows isn't slowing down any time soon!
