The 38-year-old former actress and native of Upper Darby, Pa., best known to film fans for her starring role in the 1999 box office smash “The Blair Witch Project,” is back in the public eye with a new memoir, “Growgirl: How My Life After ‘The Blair Witch Project’ Went to Pot.”
“For me, it was a wonderful chance to tell my own story from my own perspective,” Donahue, now living in San Francisco, said in a recent phone interview. “That’s one of the things I don’t miss about acting, interpreting someone else’s story all the time. There’s something to be said for that — I think it’s engendered empathy in a lot of ways — but for me, I was ready to share my own story.”

That story, as told compellingly in “Growgirl”: Around 2007, Donahue had left her acting career and moved to a northern California community she calls “Nuggettown,” where she spent a year growing medical marijuana as part of a group know as “the Community” before departing that world to write what would become “Growgirl.” Her memoir was published in January by Gotham Books, an imprint of Penguin Group.
