Britney Spears once sang, “There’s only two types of people in the world / The ones that entertain and the ones that observe.” Megan Stalter always knew she was the former; it was just a matter of when she’d get the spotlight and a willing audience. At 34 years old, the actress is finally taking center stage in Too Much, a semi-autobiographical romantic-comedy series from Girls creator Lena Dunham, starring Will Sharpe, Emily Ratajkowski, Naomi Watts, and Andrew Rannells.
Stardom wasn’t something nicely wrapped and handed to Stalter. She may have been born with a gift and a dream, but she had to go get it herself. Born in Cleveland, Stalter spent her childhood moving through different parts of Ohio, from Dayton to Huber Heights to Centerville. Wherever she lived, Stalter’s home served as a writers’ room of sorts, a place in which she was free to test material with her “very funny family.”
