See A Sneak Peek of Lauren Graham in Parenthood

Lauren Graham returns to the small screen this spring in a role she’s quite familiar with, a mom to teenagers. Graham, who is best known for her role on “Gilmore Girls”, plays Sarah, the 38 year-old single mother of Amber (Mae Whitman) and Drew (Miles Heizer) on NBC’s “Parenthood”.

Graham took over the role of Sarah from Maura Tierney, who was forced to leave the show to receive treatment for cancer. Its a shame that Tierney had to leave the show, especially under the circumstances, but this seems like a role Graham was born to play.
