Early Life and Education

Lauren Storholm Cohan was born on January 7, 1982, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Paul Storholm, a senior loan originator, and Susan Cohan, an award-winning landscape designer of Scottish descent. Her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother remarried a Jewish man, leading Lauren to adopt her stepfather’s surname, Cohan, and convert to Judaism at age five, including a Bat Mitzvah ceremony.

Raised in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, with a year in Georgia, she moved to Surrey, England, at 13 after her mother’s remarriage. Growing up in a blended family with five half-siblings and a stepsister, Lauren developed an early interest in drama, initially aspiring to be a child psychiatrist.

She attended a local high school in Cherry Hill before completing her education in England at the University of Winchester, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Drama and English Literature. At university, she co-founded a theater company, touring and performing locally, which honed her acting skills.

Career

Lauren’s career began in 2005 with her film debut as Sister Beatrice in Casanova and a role in The Quiet Assassin as Alessia. In 2006, she played Charlotte Higginson in Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj.

Her television breakthrough came in 2007 as Bela Talbot, a cunning thief, in Supernatural’s third season. She gained further recognition as Rose, a 560-year-old vampire, in The Vampire Diaries (2010–2012) and Vivian Volkoff in Chuck (2011).

Her most iconic role began in 2011 as Maggie Greene in The Walking Dead, becoming a series regular in season three. The show was cable’s top-rated series in 2015, but a pay dispute with AMC led to her departure in 2018 after season nine, appearing in only five episodes.

She returned as a regular for the eleventh and final season (2020–2022) and stars in the spinoff The Walking Dead: Dead City (2023–present), also serving as an executive producer and directing an episode in 2025.

Other notable roles include Greta Evans in The Boy (2016), Martha Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Leila Steinberg in All Eyez on Me (2017), and Alice Kerr in Mile 22 (2018).

She led as Francesca “Frankie” Trowbridge in Whiskey Cavalier (2019) and voiced War Woman in Invincible (2021–present). In 2025, she appeared in the indie film When I’m Ready and joined Zack Snyder’s animated Twilight of the Gods.

Early modeling work for brands and commercials, like Lay’s and State Farm, supported her transition to acting. Lauren’s martial arts training (kickboxing, combat skills) enhances her action roles, and she is fluent in English, French, and German.
