Freida McFadden, whose real name is Sara Cohen, is a doctor specializing in brain disorders and a best-selling author. She has kept her identity secret until recently, revealing it in an exclusive interview. McFadden wears a red wig as part of her disguise and has expressed frustration over debates about her identity. She has successfully balanced her medical career with writing, transitioning to part-time work while enjoying the financial benefits of her writing career.
""I'm tired of people debating if I'm a real person or if I'm three men," McFadden said, adding that she has nothing to hide about herself."
"Her goal was to keep her identity a secret until she could step away from her physician job full-time, which she did in late 2023."
"McFadden (who would prefer her readers call her by her author name) has been living the dream: making the income of a doctor while getting to write the types of books where Amanda Seyfried stars in the adaptation."
""I'm only working like once or twice a month," McFadden said of her ongoing medicine career. The extra pocket money can't hurt, especially if she has to keep buying wigs."
