Believe It Or Not, Lots

I Just Did A Spread In 'maxim', I'm 35 Years Old. I've Had Women And Parents Email Me Asking If I Should Really Be Doing That, Since I'm Still Considered A Role Model.

What I Got Which Was Unusual, Especially As A Child Actress, Was Parents Who Believed That Hollywood Was Not That Important. They Told Us Education, Family, Health, All Come First And They Meant It.

Teenage Girls These Days Are More And More Getting Lured Into Thinking They Should Dumb Themselves Down, And That's Going To Attract The Wrong Kind Of Guy, And It's Serious. It's Serious Business.

If You're Beautiful, You're Led To Believe That You Can't Also Be Smart. But You Can Be Fun And Fit And Social And Be Really Smart. And The Smarter You Are, The More Capable You'll Be To Handle Whatever Challenges Come Up In Life.

It Delights Me That I Don't Fit The Stereotype Of An Actress.
