Comedian and actress Lauren Elizabeth was born in Belleville, Ontario. She currently lives in Los Angeles and is majorly known for her role as Dina Fox on the sitcom Superstore. Unknown to many people, Lauren suffered a fatal cyst in her ovary five years ago. She would writhe in pain and required an operation at the earliest.
Once operated on, she gained some weight, which she recently shed off this year. However, when she did start losing weight, people accused her of using artificial ways of getting fat out of the body.
