I can meet any producer in Hollywood and look them in the eye, knowing I didn't sleep with them, or do drugs with them.

I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.

My mother had been a country and western singer but when she moved out to Hollywood found it very difficult to get work so when I was born they put me into dance classes and singing classes as soon as I could walk actually.

At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work.

I had no real education because I was in and out of schools so I decided that I would completely change my look, change my image, change my name and move to New York.

I thought I would keep the first name Susan and change the last name but I picked up this book and as I opened it the lead character in it was called Morgan Brittany.
