I'm only four weeks out from birth, so I still have a couple more weeks before I can work out - which is fine with me.

Sometimes work is a bit slow, and I always wanted to be a princess at Disneyland. There were 1,500 of us who auditioned, and 11 of us were hired. I went through all of the training, but never ended up actually getting to play Belle because 'Revenge' started. It was the time of my life, though!
When I was asked to write an article about what it was like to work with my husband on a TV show, I assumed it was because people thought it would be titillating.
