Megan Elizabeth Laura Diana Follows (born March 14, 1968) is a Canadian actress best known for her role as Anne Shirley in the 1985 Canadian television miniseries Anne of Green Gables and its two sequels.
Born in Toronto, Ontario to actors Ted Follows and Dawn Greenhalgh, she moved to Los Angeles after her parents divorced over financial scandals involving her father's company. Her siblings, Laurence, Edwina and Samantha Follows are also actors.
Among her first television appearances were roles in The Facts of Life (as a cousin of Jo Polniaczek) in 1982, and in the short-lived series Domestic Life as Martin Mull's TV daughter in 1984.
In 1991, Follows married fellow Canadian actor Christopher Porter, and was for a time credited as Megan Porter Follows. The couple divorced in 1995. They had two children: Lyla-Anne Porter and Russel Porter. Follows is now engaged to fellow actor Stuart Hughes.
Currently Follows works both on stage and on film, including both TV guest appearances and lead roles in feature films, while also raising her two children with partner Hughes. Hughes and Follows live between residences in Los Angeles and Toronto.
Follows championed A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry in the 2002 edition of Canada Reads.
