Schön! presents | grace van dien

Being a teenager isn’t easy, especially when you’re living in the touching and occasionally heart-rending world of NBC’s The Village. The series, which premiered back in March, follows the goings-on of a quintessential New Yorker apartment building in the heart of Brooklyn — where stories overlap and weave together, painting an apt portrait of life today’s chaotic world. As fitted, The Village doesn’t shy away from contemporary social and political issues. In the first episode, one character is arrested by ICE for being an undocumented immigrant. Another character has recently returned from the war, now missing his right leg. The teenage Katie, played by the gracious Grace Van Dien, also has demons to face and difficulties to overcome – chief among these, a pregnancy. schonmagazine.com/interview-grace-van-dien/ photography + video direction.
