The 28-year-old daughter of British musician Phil Collins and his second wife American Jill Tavelman reflects on the gravitas of her new film 'To the Bone', directed by Marti Nixon for Netflix. The role required Lily to play a troubled anorexia sufferer in the film, which mirror's Nixon's own struggle with eating disorders. 

That's plenty enough of gravitas; now add Collins' own struggle with anorexia, which she detailed in the memoir 'Unfiltered'. Collins explains that her mother was "a bit in shock" the first time she saw Lily's weight loss. By the end of the nutritionist-supervised weight loss, her mom was sobbing, hit very hard by her daughter's condition.
