Her mother, Carolyn, wrote a note to get her out of school when she was only 8 years old to go see her very first movie, "Hair." That Christmas, when her grandmother gave her very first $20.00 bill , she went straight to the record store to buy her very first album: the soundtrack to "Hair." Years later, she actually spent some screen time with her very first childhood crush, Treat Williams -- in both The Staircase Murders (2007) and Maskerade (2010).
