Many people don't have a strong support system because entertainment is a tough industry to get into. Even though my family wanted me to find financial and professional stability, they supported my passion for acting.
When my career started on daytime soaps, those characters usually didn't have much depth to them. The main goal was to memorize my lines in order to film efficiently the next day. But with 'Jane The Virgin,' the writing is strong, and everything is intentional.
My dad was in my life, and he was actually a very positive influence on me in my life. He was always there. He was a great dad. But my parents divorced when I was 5, so I grew up in a single-parent home.
When I discovered eyelash extensions, it was like the sea has parted; the sun came out. It was everything.
Since I don't have much time to cook, I tend to cook in bulk and eat leftovers.
My husband is actually Italian-American, and he thought I was Italian when he first met me.
