Personal Quote:

My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did. My aunt, who played a big part in my life, was a little bit more reserved, because if they don't see you on TV every week they think you must be starving. See more »

Trivia:

She was once employed as a photo researcher at U.S. News & World Report magazine. See more »
