Lauren Holly

Lauren (why her husband is different from the men from her past relationships): I never really had an a--hole guy in my life. In fact, they were the most amazing men on the planet. It was just that their personalities were as big as mine, if not bigger. So to meet somebody who was so stable and down-to-earth was very new. Even the idea of dating was new. In my 20s and 30s, people didn't date. You went out in large groups and eventually you went home together. But with Francis, there were actual dates where he would plan things and call to tell me what time he was picking me up. He wanted me to meet his family. It was so different and it took a little time to understand it.

Lauren (why she stopped acting when she got engaged): I realized this whole other world was out there and open to me. I had been very fortunate in my career up until that point, but for the first time I thought, I just want to settle down, be with the man that I love, and start a family. So I kind of dropped out of the business and moved to New York with Francis and we got an apartment together.

Lauren: Maybe I'm more relaxed that I used to be. I enjoy my work, but you see all these young starlets who want to be in magazines and at all the parties and, for me, it's more about the actual work now. I don't chase any of that other stuff and I look back on that period and it was not fun.
