Anna Paquin walks red carpet with a cane amid ongoing health issues, says she is on the road to recovery

Anna Paquin, who is starring in the film 'A Bit of Light' directed by her husband Stephen Moyer, has been struggling with an undisclosed illness that causes mobility issues.

On Wednesday, April 3, the actress, 41, walked the red carpet with her husband Stephen Moyer at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City for their latest film, A Bit of Light, using a cane for assistance. A Bit of Light stars Paquin as an alcoholic mother who loses custody of her children and has to pick up the pieces of her broken life while reconciling with her past. She says she didn't relate to her character Ella's story as an alcoholic, but as a mom she understood that parenthood can be complex, and that women can often be forgotten as fully formed people once they become mothers.
