When she first moved to Los Angeles, she haunted unlikely places: "I used to read the La Brea Tar Pits, with all those toxic fumes. I think I was trying to get closer of Central Park."
WHY HER MOM first enrolled her in an acting class in third grade: “She had no friends and often talked to herself in the playground; The teachers called my mother and said, “Maybe you want to find a way out. She chose to act because I've always been a dramatic kid."
