Parker Posey Diagnosed With Lyme Disease
Indie film darling Parker Posey has been diagnosed with Lyme disease, forcing her to withdraw from a leading role in the upcoming Playwrights Horizons' production of This. Posey, 40, has pulled off some great roles in her lengthy career, appearing in films such as Laws of Attraction and Best in Show.
She has also appeared on Boston Legal. Lyme disease is a chronic condition carried by ticks in grass. In the US it is most common in the north-eastern states. Early-stage Lyme disease responds well to treatment, which usually requires a course of antibiotics. The off-Broadway This, which tells the tales of a poet and her love trials, will open as scheduled on December 12, said artistic director Tim Sanford.
