"I was born in Connecticut. But my parents brought my sister and I to L.A. when-Hollywood, actually, when i was 6 months old"
About this Quote
The fragmentary, spoken rhythm (the dash, the repetition, the lowercase “i”) reads like casual conversation, which is the point: it makes proximity to Hollywood seem incidental, almost accidental. Six months old is the clincher. At that age, you can’t choose ambition, you can’t scheme, you can’t be a “Hollywood type.” The subtext is innocence: whatever fame became, it wasn’t a calculated grab; it was a family migration that turned into destiny.
Contextually, this is a classic old-school star narrative move, especially for an actress whose image was built on glamorous authority. She’s threading two needles at once: claiming authenticity (not born into the bubble) while asserting inevitability (raised at the center of it). It’s a neat way to make celebrity feel less like a ladder climbed and more like a place you simply arrived, before you could even talk.
