1-How was your childhood? I can’t think of my childhood as being anything other than perfect, if I’m being completely honest. I’m not sure if it’s just the power of nostalgia or if the good things really outshine the bad, but I have a very happy, wholesome memory of it all. I was always very extroverted and kind of a social butterfly, so it was pretty easy to make friends, and in a way I’m glad that this was before the internet and social media took over, which I feel made things more precious and lighthearted. Also, I could’t have asked for a better, more involved and caring family and I was very lucky they brought me the opportunity to experience living abroad from a such an early age – my parents moved to Portugal when I was about to turn eight, and despite us being immigrants with humble lives, it was like an adventure to me. It really opened up my mind to a whole new world, I got to experience a different culture, meet incredible people who I’d remain very good friends

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in a small town in Michigan. I was instilled with a lot of great midwestern values early on that I carry with me today! I have a big family, so I had the privilege of playing with many cousins and we had fun family get togethers that included playing baseball games in our big backyard! As a kid I loved going to the movies and loved putting on skits for family (writing them and acting in them). I loved the “Carol Burnett Show” which inspired me greatly as a performer back then and it still does now. 2- From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? I was fairly young when I felt the passion for acting! I don’t remember the exact age, but I believe I was around 12yrs. old. I was playing with some of my cousins (at one of our family parties) and we were having a ‘séance’ and I pretended to be possessed by an evil spirit. I pretended to pass out and when one of my cousins turned on the li

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in a big city in Brazil, São Paulo, I was always surrounded by friends, family and many cousins. Sundays we’d go to my grandparents house and have delicious homemade food.   2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? I was 5 year old only when I’d dress up bed sheets and act in the backyard of my house. It’s funny because I always would speak a different language, almost as if I knew that one day I’d be an actor in Los Angeles. Acting has been always my passion. I graduated in acting school with 22 years old.   3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? No!!! They’d say acting was a hobby, it’s so sad that so many parents had that mentality in the old days… so I graduated also in Marketing and worked in Ad Agencies to make a living.    4. - What was your first appearance on the screens? I acted mostly in plays (theater) at first and after movin
