I went to elementary school in L.A. I was born in L.A. My mother was from Redondo Beach. My father was French. He died six months before I was born, so my mother went home. I was born there. Not the childhood that most people think. Middle-class, raised by my mother. Single mom.

I grew up in Los Angeles and always wished I'd spent a childhood in a far different place.

I grew up half in South Central and half in the San Fernando valley.

I was born in New York and raised in South Florida, so I'm an East Coast girl.

I started out a die-hard New Yorker but really grew to love working in Los Angeles. Even though I originally wanted to do theater, TV presented more opportunities for me, which led me out west.

I grew up in L.A., but I was the only one in my family born there.

My family came over from Spain about nine generations ago. I was born in San Diego, but by the time I was four days old, I was on a flight back to Spain because that's where my family was living at the time.
