Lupus in the Media: Television Shows and Movies where Lupus was featured or part of the character or storyline

Even after House, M.D. has mentioned the word Lupus in almost every episode of the television show, Lupus is still not a well known disease. I know a little part of me jumped up and got all excited when I heard the word Lupus on TV the first time. I will never forget the moment. I thought that maybe some how it meant that I was no longer the girl with that "weird disease" that noone knows about. Maybe if people heard the word "lupus", or related to a character that was living with lupus, they would be more compelled to find a cure.

So I have tried to compile a list of Lupus in the Media. I chose not to include medical statistics or news broadcasts, and focussed specifically on television shows, documentaries, and movies where Lupus was featured or part of the storyline. I have derived this information from a variety of sources like newspaper articles, websites etc. I believe this list to be true and accurate. The list below is in no particular order. If you have anyone to add, or delete- please contact me.
