I met Lucy for the first time at the CW Upfronts about 3 years ago. The network had all of the stars from its new & returning shows at a party/conference in New York and we were mingling with each other and the CW executives, affiliates and advertisers. I remember finding a place to sit down, eat my plate of hors d'oeuvres and get away from all the mindless chatter. I walked over and sat beside two young girls who looked like they felt as awkward as I did and who were obviously keeping each other company. I started chatting with this gorgeous, young, brunette sitting beside me who was on a new show called "Privileged" with my friend JoAnna Garcia. I was instantly impressed by her ability to hone in and have a real conversation amidst all the small talk. She looked me right in the eye. She wasn't looking around the room to see what celebrity might be walking by-- and there were tons-- she was totally present and engaged and SINCERE. Let me tell you, that is a rare, rare trait in this business. We talked for what must have been only about 20 minutes, but I never forgot her name or how delightful she was. I knew she was headed for big things in her career.
"Privileged" didn't last (unfortunately) but Lucy has really begun to blaze her own trail through young hollywood, avoiding the pitfalls that so often swallow up young celebrities (Albert Einstein said "Premature responsibility breeds superficiality"), she remains fun, classy and wholesome without seeming oppressed (Disney kids, anyone??). Lucy has a spark in her eye of mischief, a streak that all good actors need, and a sensibility about her that is aware of her position as a role model to young women. She is currently putting that spark to good use on ABC Family's PRETTY LITTLE LIARS and is also the face you see on the DVD cover you keep passing of ONCE UPON A SONG: Cinderella Story III (which was filmed in Wilmington). Up next for Lucy is thriller "Downers Grove" with Rebecca De Mornay and my old Guiding Light friend Hayden Panettiere. To get to know Lucy better you can visit her website or follow her on Twitter.
Thanks for contributing to 20 Questions, Lucy! All the best! xo
