Lena Dunham joins Amna Nawaz on 'Settle In'

Season 2026 Episode 78 | 6m 29s

More than a decade ago, Lena Dunham rose to fame as the comedic force behind HBO's hit series, "Girls." In her new memoir, "Famesick," Dunham candidly, hilariously, and sometimes painfully, explores how she balanced her sudden celebrity with chronic illness, addiction and trauma. Amna Nawaz spoke with Dunham on our PBS news podcast, "Settle In."
