The Emmy-nominated actress has never held back on expressing love for her family, one of the examples being the party she threw for her mother’s 60th birthday.
“I wouldn’t have been able to pursue my dreams without her supporting that decision. I was 12, 13 years old and my mom and dad gave up everything that they knew for me to be able to pursue my dreams. We lost friends, we lost our house, we lost everything in pursuit of it.”
