Q : How did you get into acting ?
A : I was studying to be a ballerina from the time I was six years old . When I was fourteen , I had a friend Lada Edmonds , who was performing on Broadway in “ Bye , Bye Birdie ”. I used to sneak backstage and watch the show from the wings , all these young boys and girls , singing and dancing their hearts out , and that was it . I knew I wanted to do that ! I began studying acting and singing and jazz dance and I was off , pursuing this new world !
Q : Who was the first actor / actress that you remember admiring their work ?
A : I grew up enamored with Natalie Wood . I don ’ t know how many times I saw “ Splendor In The Grass ”, then of course “ West Side Story ”, Inside Daisy Clover ”, “ Love With The Proper Stranger ”, I could go on and on .
Q : What are your 3 must-haves on set and why ?
A : When I ’ m on set , I have to make sure I have English Breakfast Tea and honey and preferably Cashew milk but Oat or Coconut will do in a pinch and of course my phone and glasses and oh yes , MY SCRIPT !!
