Dawson’s Creek was a blast to film. We traveled down to Wilmington North Carolina for two different shows. The local people were great. The town is a
wonderful place to learn about history. The cast and crew of Dawson’s are lucky to live and work in such a friendly area. Filming there was awesome. Plus, I
got to play a soccer girl "Molly". She wore black fingernail polish and carried a bad attitude. That was so totally cool. I hope to go back and work with Kerr Smith
again.  I liked studying him discussing issues with the directors. He is a fabulous communicator.
I played Cindy Brady/Susan Olsen. I wanted this part because of the lisp. You know the youngest one in curls. It was awesome to have so many brothers and
sisters on the set. Meeting Susan Olsen was a pleasure. She was very kind to me and called me after to thank me. Is that sweet or what? Michael
Lookingland's family and my family went to the beach on New Year’s Eve. His son Scotty Lookingland gave me my first on screen kiss. Yuck. We met most of
the original cast members, so we got the inside scoop on everything.  Our outfits were totally groovy.
General Hospital is where it all began for me. I play the daughter of Scotty Baldwin. My character is Serena Lee Baldwin, and I am just like my feisty dad. Kin
Shriner and I are BEST FRIENDS on and off the screen, but we do have our differences. I love singing and dancing at the Nurse’s Ball, and he wishes I would
be quiet so they won’t pick us for an act. GH is where my mom Dominique Stanton married my dad. When Dom was pregnant with me she found out she had
a brain tumor, so she asked Lucy Coe to carry me to term. Just after I was born Scotty took me away to Canada. When we came back to Port Charles we
started a new soap opera called Port Charles.
Port Charles is like a family to me. I spend lots of time with Lynn Herring (Lucy), Kin Shriner (Scotty), and Susan Brown (Grandma Gail). We even call her
Grandma Gail in real life. Kin, Susan, and I spend many holidays together because we are a real family. I am very luck to find such wonderful people to love.
Everyone on the cast and crew of Port Charles treats me very well. I know they work really hard, and I tell them. They respect me too. When I give a tear
jerking performance I love to hear them applaud and watch them dry their eyes. My character has been kidnapped three times, in a car wreck causing me to
go blind for a few months, told that my dad and Lucy died in plane crash, and everyone but Grandma Gail has been at death’s door in the hospital.
Tears…yes I can give you tears.
This was a new experience for me.  I thought it was going to be a breeze because they gave me the script two weeks before we had to film.  I thought,
"Wow, what a piece of cake."  Then all the cuts and rewrites happened everyday.  My sister's name changed 7 times and the script contorted continually.  I
really don't think the writers slept over those 14 days.  But when the final product came together, it was awesome.  I got to be funny.  A total Drama Mama.  I
really enjoy playing the part of a trouble maker.  It just makes me smile all the time.  Also, performing in front of a live audience was very interesting.  I get
great satisfaction in hearing people laugh.  This was a great Disney pilot.  I hope that it gets picked up for the fall.  It is very funny....very funny.  My name is
Jennifer, and  I have an older brother and sister.  We live with our Mom that is a cosmetologist.  My sister's best friend is a hoot.  And the principal is the
funniest lady I have ever met.  
Oh, I have loved Hilary Duff since the first time I met her at an awards banquet 3 years ago.  She was sweet to me then, and she was even more adorable
when I worked with her.  We hung with Lalaine.  Hilary calls me 'little sis'.  We were dancing in the hair and make-up room and having a ball.  Filming was
cool too because I got to look like an angel, but torture Matt (Jake).  I did so many bad pranks....OH, life is good!  Every time I did a something naughty, Matt
looked at me dreamily.  Boys, they are such FREAKS!  I hope I get to return to Lizzie again as the bad seed, MELINA.
Mean Creek was a whole lot of fun to film.  I spent my entire summer in Oregon with 5 boys.  I learned more about the way boys talk and think than I ever
needed to know. We had the most fun 6 kids could have making a movie.  We worked hard all day and played and goofed off every evening.  Mean Creek turned
out to be an awesome movie that  is going to all of the following Festivals: Cannes, Sundance, London, Stockholm, L.A., and Seattle.  I have fond memories of
working with this cast and crew.
