The article discusses the profound friendship between Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey, which began when they auditioned for roles in the groundbreaking series 'The L Word.' Moennig landed the iconic role of Shane, while Hailey played Alice, and their on-screen friendship mirrored their real-life bond. Their closeness grew during season one filming in Vancouver, where they became inseparable. They reveal their story in their memoir, highlighting the serendipitous nature of their meeting and the influence of their characters on perceptions of queer family.
"When did they realize they were destined for a lifelong friendship? 'The moment you laid eyes on me,' Moennig jokes, is when Hailey knew."
"As Shane and Alice became a possibility model for friendship and queer chosen family over nine seasons, so did Hailey and Moennig."
