What attracted you to the Entertainment Industry and what was your first job or big break in the business?
Because I like to pretend like those kids on stage and on the Barney show. My first job was with Mel Gibson in "What Women Want" and with Angelina Ballerina in the American Girl Catalogs.
What is the biggest challenge you faced trying to break into the industry and how did you overcome it?
Huh...??? What does THAT mean??? (PARENTS EXPLAIN AND LINDSAY THINKS ABOUT IT) Oh, the hardest thing was driving all the way into the big downtown city everyday!!
What advice can you give those trying to break into the "industry?"
Lindsay strikes her most adorable pose, hands clasped to the side of her face with head tilted and smiles. Then she shrugs and says : "Do just like this".
Please describe your character in "Stolen Summer" and why you were attracted to the role.
Katie is silly, she likes to dance, has red hair and is 4 years old, oh, and has freckles. And she likes to eat popcorn and go to the movies.
Can you share any tricks of the trade that help you work better as an actor?
What does that mean, Mom?? (PARENTS EXPLAIN AGAIN)…..Oh, I like to think about playing with toys, entertaining, playing with dolls and eating candy. Then I'm not nervous.
Are you also a writer and if so, how many screenplays have you written?
I would like to be a writer when I grow up and write a movie, and also search under the sea and fix sunken ships, and be a doctor and a movie actor. (NO SCREENPLAYS SO FAR, MAYBE WHEN SHE TURNS 6…)
What's the best lesson you've learned in regards to working in Hollywood?
I haven't went in Hollywood yet, but I've seen it in the movie "Cats Don't Dance!"
What advice would you give to writers on how to craft a script that can help actors better understand or relate to their character?
Ummmmmmm...(PARENTS EXPLAIN)...Ummmmmmmmmmm, make them like you really are!
What advice would you give a director on how to make your job as an actor easier on set?
More playing on the set and not so much working, and not to have to go downtown everyday! I played on the playground with Pete Jones and that was my favorite day.
List your top five favorite films.
The Emperor's New Groove
The Parent Trap
The Land Before Time-all of them
Mary Poppins
Cats Don't Dance
**Additional Comments**
I loved getting my hat and Project Greenlight crew jacket, and it was my birthday and I loved getting my scooter and riding my 2 wheel bike, now that I can ride one.
HI, I'M KAY, LINDSAYS MOM, AND I WANT TO THANK THE WHOLE CREW, CAST AND DIRECTOR AND EVERYONE ELSE ON SET FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL WITH LINDSAY. WOKING ON A SET IS TEDIOUS FOR A 4 YEAR OLD, YET ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED MADE HER FEEL COMFORTABLE, PLAYED WITH HER AND MADE HER FEEL SPECIAL. SHE COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE ON FILMING DAYS, IT WAS BETER THAN A PLAY DATE!! SHE KEEPS ASKING WHEN SHE'LL SEE HER FRIENDS AGAIN. PROJECT GREENLIGHT WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH-MANY THANKS!!
