Every little girl wanted to be Natalie Wood, as did I.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a little girl who grew up idolizing musical-theatre stars.
Many fans were surprised when they learned that the little girl in drama 'Stairway To Heaven' was me.
As a little girl growing up in a small farming town in Michigan, my idols were women like Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth.
Especially in the Dixie Chicks, everyone wants you to play a role. Natalie was the feisty one. Martie was the nice one 'cause she smiles all the time onstage, and I was the quiet one.
I really love Natalie Portman; she's the real deal.
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a rock star. I wanted to be Steven Tyler. It was really strange, but as a little girl you think anything is possible, and it is. I never even thought about being an actress.
Mia Farrow was the person I was really excited about getting to know because Woody Allen is one of my heroes and, just by proxy, I was a huge fan of hers.
Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.
When I was about 7, I fancied Anna Chlumsky; the girl from 'My Girl.'
When I was little, I always wanted to grow up to be like Jessalyn Kincaid and Vanessa Severo. They showed me how much joy performing can give you.
