Is all awareness good awareness? Over the years, there have been many character portrayals of people with narcolepsy. Portrayals of narcolepsy in popular media shape public perception and can perpetuate misunderstanding.
Project Sleep President and CEO, Julie Flygare, hosted the “Narcolepsy goes to Hollywood” live event to discuss portrayals of narcolepsy in TV shows and movies with featured panelists Al Jean, Executive Producer of The Simpsons, and Anna Marr, actor and writer living with narcolepsy.
In this conversation, we discuss Episode 1 of Season 27 of The Simpsons, “Every Man’s Dream“, where Homer is diagnosed with narcolepsy and Anna’s dark comedy series, Walking through Peanut Butter, based on her experiences navigating New York’s comedy scene with narcolepsy.
