She was 7 years older than her sister.
Whoa. I wonder how close her sister feels to Lena now. Lena sounds very overbearing to be around.
Dunham’s sister Grace explained:
"Without getting into specifics, most of our fights have revolved around my feeling like Lena took her approach to her own personal life and made my personal life her property."
Lena’s response was this:
"I consider Grace to be an extension of me, and therefore I couldn’t handle the fact that she’s a very private person with her own value system and her own aesthetic and that we do different things."
That’s Lena’s excuse for earlier outing her sister to her parents before she was comfortable to talk about her sexuality with them. Though Grace wasn’t quite ready to tell their parents, Dunham was unable to contain herself and came out to them for her.
