No social media, no Twitter or Instagram, none of that.

And no cell phones, you know, to the point that we're using them now.

So back then it was like when you did a soap opera, you were stuck doing that.

And people and agents and managers said, you know, you got to do this and you can't go to nighttime and do a TV show and you can't be a film actor.

And I was like, no, I will.

Because I was the first one to be in Arsenio Hall when I was on General Hospital.

I was the first one to be on TV Guide at the time.

We had TV Guide at the time.

I remember.

They think I became a model, which is not true.

What really happened, I came to this country when I was 12 years old with my family, my sister, my mother, and my dad.

Okay.

And we came here with a green card and dreams.

And we came to Los Angeles and I went to acting school right away.

I went to Stella Adler.

You know, one of my favorite teachers was Nina Foch.

She's passed away and a great actress.

I went to the actor studio and I really want to pursue the acting.

My father was an actor for many years in Europe, in America.

But when he came here, he had a hard time.
