I was fifteen years old, and I got cast in our college production of Picnic as Millie, the younger sister. I was a pretty shy kid when I wasn't around my really close friends, and all of a sudden I 'was' this character who swore, smoked, and chased guys around and swatted them with newspapers when they irritated her. And I realized, this is fun. :-)

And owwwwwwww on the fact...
