Seth Rogen’s filmmaker wife, Lauren Miller Rogen, recalled feeling “so alone” while navigating her mother’s devastating Alzheimer’s diagnosis at just 55 years old.
“I was in my 20s, and I felt so alone,” Miller Rogen exclusively told Page Six at a special screening of “Tangles” earlier this week. “I was sure I was the youngest person who had experienced this, and no one could understand.”
However, the “For a Good Time, Call…” star soon realized she wasn’t the only one facing the heartbreaking ordeal. “I was not alone and I was not the youngest and I was unfortunately, but also fortunately, part of a huge community that did understand,” she shared.
In 2012, Miller Rogen and her husband, Seth Rogen, founded Hilarity for Charity, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and supporting families affected by it.
The couple also produced “Tangles,” an animated film about a woman whose mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
The film features an all-star voice cast, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Abbi Jacobson, Bryan Cranston and Beanie Feldstein.
Despite there being no cure for the progressive brain disorder, Miller Rogen said she and her husband have “found a lot of hope” through their advocacy work.
“At Hilarity for Charity, we’ve learned so much about brain health; we have education to teach people how to keep their brains healthy,” she explained. “And so it’s not as dark as it was. There’s still a lot more work to be done, but there is a lot of hope, which is amazing.”
Rogen, meanwhile, couldn’t help but gush over his wife when Page Six suggested that she was the real superstar in their family.
“Very much so,” the “Superbad” star agreed.
“We’ve been together a long time. I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen it firsthand.”
The couple, both 44, met on a blind date in 2004 and tied the knot in 2011.
