Summary: Today my guests on Hometown to Hollywood are Ariana and Soli Greenblatt. Ariana is best known for her roles in Stuck in the Middle, A Bad Mom’s Christmas, and Liv and Maddie. She just joined the cast of The One and Only Ivan, which is produced by Angelina Jolie and is a live-action/CG hybrid movie. And Soli Greenblatt is her fabulous mom! This is a really fun conversation, where both the experience of a very young professional actresss (Ariana is 10 now and started in the industry just before her 7th birthday) and her mom are shared. What's it like to be living a normal life, have a couple of auditions while you're on vacation in LA and suddenly get a role that turns your life upside down? Listen in and find out! Some of my favorite quotes: "It happened so quickly that it was wild." "It's just another chapter in our book, and it's an adventure of life." "If you don't get it, that doesn't mean you give up!" "Whenever I was nervous, my mom would have the best pep talks for me." "That's how we supported her-- just by letting her kind of lead her own path." "You have to just be yourself. You can't be the person that other people want you to be." If it's not your door to be opened, you can't force it. Your door will open when it's time."
