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 had an amazing childhood! I was raised on a ranch in Texas as an only child in a small rural town named Fredericksburg where everyone knows everyone. I love living here, The small community aspect holds a dear place in my heart. I had a very active imagination throughout my childhood. I would often go down to the barn and play games with the animals or I would drag my guitar into the woods, climb a tree, and play and sing songs. 2- From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? my love of performing began when I was just a baby. My parents used to play George Strait, and Elvis songs around the house and they noticed that even in the youngest years of my life I could bounce my legs perfectly in time with the music, that's when my parents decided that they should enroll me in dance class. So at 2 years old, I started competitively dancing at our hometown dance studio called Ms Rhonda's S

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? Hahahahaha not the best. I decided to become an actress and a comedian. I don’t think much more explanation is needed. 2- From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? Around the age of 7, I figured out that I wanted to become a film actress. I had already been performing in one way or another before that since around the age of 3. As long as I can remember, I’ve always felt a level of comfort with acting even though I get performance anxiety as well. Performing is so ingrained in my system that I can’t imagine my life without it. The need to perform and create is much stronger than any self doubt I have. Any skills that I need to pick up for a role, I have confidence I can learn at the time of the project. 3- Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? My dad died when I was very young so he was rather silent on the issue. My mom loved movies and actors and that lov

1-. How was your childhood?   I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. I remember fun times dancing with my parents. My father loved playing the Bongos and the guitar while singing. My parents loved to dance and enjoy music. So, I acquired the love of music and dance. However, I was also Tomboy. I enjoyed being outdoors climbing on trees with my brothers experiencing make-believe adventures in empty fields throughout our neighborhood. I played sports in middle and high school. I made all tournament Basketball player in my Junior year and Most Valuable Player. I loved Basketball, softball, tennis and most sports...still do. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV?    From a very young age I wanted to act. I loved make-believe. The magic of being anything or anyone on any given day brought joy to me and being able to focus and committing to a role was evident. Even when I pretended to have a sprained

1-. How was your childhood?  Very interesting. I was actually born with a serious congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, which is fatal within hours if there is no medical intervention. I had 4 open-heart surgeries by age 2 and have a pacemaker. I spent a good deal of time in the hospital growing up. But I have an amazing family who supported me and made my life fun, despite the disabilities. We didn’t have a lot of money but we did a lot of really fun family things that didn’t cost a lot. My parents have given me the best life. They taught me to be strong and brave and resilient. I’m really proud of how far I’ve come. When I was so sick, my mom pulled me out of school to homeschool me. I’ve always been a daredevil and interested in so many activities…but being homeschooled, I’ve been able to pursue EVERY passion. I’m a teen chef and sushi is my specialty. I’ve worked with Food Network chefs. I have my own business cooking for people in their homes

When I was older, we spent evenings watching movies. It remains that way until now when I visit them 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? A children's theater has arrived in the kindergarten. I learned that people on stage are actors and this is their profession. The kindergarten teacher promised that we would do the same thing next year. From then on, I took part in every event related to acting, even in later years. 3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? It was a shock for them. At first, no, they were afraid, but then when they saw that I was doing well, I received great support, which I still have today. 4. - What was your first appearance on the screens? In a Polish soap opera in
