SOAP OPERA DIGEST

Interview with Alison Sweeney

Just The Facts:

Birthday: September 19
Nickname: Alley Cat
Most Sami-like Behavior: Buying under-12 tickets for R-rated movies
Film Credit: A young Dyan Cannon in The End of Innocence. "Working with [Cannon] as a director taught me a lot," Sweeney says. "She didn't push you, but she would be like, 'I know you can do this because the reason I hired you is because you are the best.' So you would think, 'Oh, I can do this, can't I?' and you did it."
Rules DAYS Must Obey: "I'm a minor. They can only work me ten-and-a-half hours. There's a tutor on the set, and every day I'm not working I go to school."
About That Beauty Salon Scene With Deidre Hall: "I looked like a lioness. I hope they don't do that again."
