The money went directly to feed people that can not get out and feed
themselves. I have been hanging out at
the beach and surfing some, though the waves have been so small. Over spring break, I went and checked out a
few colleges.
- March - my website is back up and
running. - I had two computer crashes. Louie made me a website
-- www.carlybschroeder.com
His website looks new and very nice. It also has great information
on the upcoming Meals on Wheels April 13th. Please come and ride or
sponsor me as I help feed people in need right here in the United
States. I finished an episode with Jennifer Love
last week...April 4th Ghost Whisperer airs on CBS.

- October - Wow this month is just flying by so
quickly. I went to the homecoming dance with my boyfriend!!!!
It was so much fun dancing all night and seeing friends all dolled
up for the occasion. I have been modeling for Jessica
McClintock a lot this month. ---I had another birthday. The
big ONE-SEVEN. --Thank you to all the fans that wrote me a sweet
message for my birthday on myspace. It means so much that you
would take time out of your day for me....Thanks!!!
The wildfires are out of control, and the winds are the strongest I
have ever seen here in California. I just confirmed an
invitation for: The Melbourne Independent Filmmakers'
Festival is coming up Nov. 2-3, and organizer Terry Cronin has
announced this year's selections. There were 253 entries, narrowed
to 41 selections, including 34 shorts, five features, two previews,
22 Florida films, seven international films, six documentaries and
four animated films.
Showings will be at the Premiere Theaters Oaks Stadium 10; get
advance tickets here.
Saturday night at 6 p.m., Nov. 3, is the red carpet event, with a
screening of "Eye of the Dolphin," produced by Melbourne's John
Remark. - --- Hope to see you there!
- September- I just got back from the
Bahamas - While I was at the dolphin facility a turtle was
brought in for health care. I got to help repair this
beautiful creature. It had a chunk of meat ripped out of the
back of its neck by a gaffer-hook. I got to water down and
clean the turtle. Then they let me put iodine( or some like
that) on the wound. This turtle was huge; it took 3 guys to
carry it from the truck to a stretcher, so it could be taken back
out to sea. This could possibly have been the best day of my life.
For more information on how they are trying to save these endangered
Sea Turtles please go to this website.

Turtles have rights too! Her face is covered
because she was very angry with her wound.

- August - I
was going to just give you this link .... but I wanted to post this
because it is that important. Over the past few days I have
read reviews on Eye of the Dolphin... then I came across this one...
BINGO !! Communication!
Please read.
Eye of the Dolphin (2007) | Review
For Those With Ears to Hear
Darrel Manson
In Eye of the Dolphin, Alyssa is a troubled teen. She’s recently lost
her mother and is in trouble in school (and wearing way too much make-up
so we know she’s troubled). When her grandmother can do no more for her,
she takes Alyssa to the Bahamas to meet the father she never knew she
had (and vice versa). Her father, Dr. James Hawk, is researching dolphin
communication in hope of being able to understand them. Alyssa and her
father must find a way to rescue her life from the edge of catastrophe.
Can they each rescue each other from their troubles?
OK, that sounds a lot like some kind of after school special. And in
many ways, it is. That isn’t saying anything bad about it, but it does
have a target audience of teens and parents. Such a film may not develop
characters and relationships as fully as other films might, but the film
is designed to focus on an issue.
The real issue that is dealt with in the film is communication.
Communication and its difficulties are central to the storyline. The
research into communication with dolphins serves to sets the stage for
the challenges that the characters face in their struggles to hear and
be heard.
There are many things that get in the way of real communication. One is
distraction by other voices. In the film, this is shown through the ear
buds that people use while listening to iPods or earphones that Hawk
often wears as he listens to the dolphins. These shut out other voices.
I think the film thinks it’s a good thing that in her first encounter
with the dolphins, they steal Alyssa’s iPod and ruin it.
Yet another obstacle to communication is being too busy. Hawk especially
is so consumed with his research that he doesn’t pay attention to those
around him, even those who can help or hinder him. It is always easy to
put people off when we think we’re doing something important. Often,
however, we miss something far more important because we haven’t been
ready to listen.
Sometimes we just refuse to listen. Alyssa’s grandmother gave her a
stack of letters that Hawk had written to her mother through the years.
They are all unopened. Could what was in those letters have made any
difference in their lives? Not when the words don’t pass from one person
to another.
But the film also shows us that communication is possible. Hawk’s
girlfriend Tami takes Alyssa to Tami’s mother’s grave, where she talks
to her mother. Here the film begins to tell us that true communication
involves a bit of a spiritual level. Communication is not just hearing,
but connecting to the other person.
When Alyssa is asked if she thinks dolphins can talk, she says the
problem is, “we just don’t know how to listen right.” That insight
reflects all the issues that challenge the way the various characters
hear (or not) one another. Listening is not just about the words, but in
knowing the right way of listening, which involves connecting to one
another.
It is that spiritual component to listening that will provide the
opportunity for the relationship between Alyssa and her father to grow
and for the problems that they face to be overcome.
We too need to pay attention to our communication, be it with the people
around us or our communication with God. There are always obstacles to
our being heard and to our listening. Often Jesus ended a parable by
saying, “Let anyone with ears to hear listen.” He really didn’t mean
that listening was a matter only of the ears. He also expects us to
listen with our hearts, where true communication takes place.
Okay
this is what is coming up: This Tuesday is the Los Angeles Premiere
of Eye of the Dolphin at the ArcLight. And guess who
will be there? My friend George Harris. Many of you know
him as Kingsley Shackle bolt from Harry Potter. And you must
admit... he did have the best line in the movie. Well, George is one
of the stars in the movie Eye of the Dolphin, so we are going
to hanging out this week doing press and meeting fans. Friday
night (around 7:00 ish) the 24th we are going to the opening of EOD down in Orange. The theater is called THE BLOCK
30 IN THE CITY OF ORANGE, CA. September 1st I will be
down in San Juan Capistrano, CA at the BLUES CUP TOURNAMENT. Good
Luck! Saturday evening they are going to show GRACIE to
the soccer teams and I will be around to meet and greet the
athletes.
Here- I was sent this link by a
fan.... check it out. Then send it to a friend or two.
http://www.prxreleases.com/wire/index.php/2007/08/09/august-24th-award-winning-movie-eye-of-the-dolphin-dives-into-theaters-across-the-country/?gclid=CKS5kMz48I0CFSKgYAodolf8Mg
. The month just started but it is very
busy. Eye of the Dolphin hits theaters on August 24th.
It is in only 110 select theaters the first week.
http://www.eyeofthedolph
inthemovie.com/contracts/dolphin_locations.php So if it is
in your area go see it the first week. .. Because with small
independent movies ... they come and go within a week or two.
If you love dolphins, science, or just the beautiful view of the
Caribbean... this movie has something for you. If you would
like to go to the premiere of EOD then go to the Eye of the Dolphin
myspace and sign up for a contest. Also, Gracie comes out on DVD on September the 18th. I
am so excited that Gracie will then be available for everyone to
see. I would like to thank all the wonderful people that came
out to all of the screenings of Gracie. I truly enjoyed
meeting you. It was my pleasure.
- July- Also I do talk to people on myspace..
look up Carly Schroeder. If you have a question ask, I try to answer
back within a week. http://www.alloy.com/5/43/3739/1/ref/archive/5/43/ Check out this
site on Alloy.com . I shot this in Central Park. It was a
blast!!!! On Saturday I got to see the final draft of Eye of
the Dolphin. They added some awesome outtakes at the end of the
movie. I am very pleased with the final product. It does
have a PG-13 rating because I smoke and drink at the beginning of
the in the movie. It has to be there to show where my
character starts and how she changes during the movie. I
personally do not drink or smoke. These two factors have to be
in the movie to portray real life situations. EOD has great
life lessons for parents and children. I am amazed that we were able
to shoot this whole movie in only 4 weeks. Eye of the Dolphin
opens in theaters on August 24th. Wow! I went up to Isleton to the delta
for a 4th of July camping trip. It was legit!!!. We went
waterskiing, wake boarding, jet skiing, and then there was tube
time. Tube time was a blast. Mark took his boat out and
whipped us teenagers around on the water at insane speeds. Stef,
cam, and Jeff were amazing the way they hung on even after being
flipped. Cabin #5 was so cool. Bob was a speed water-skiing
champ; he has water-ski at speeds over 100mph. Now that's
crazy! We hung out with some nice people, and I made some
great friends. I hope to go back again next year. I'm on
my way to see the Dodger!!!! GO BLUE!! Going to see a
baseball game is one of my most favorite things to do in life.
- June- I finished the tour and
Gracie hit the theaters. We just could not compete with
Pirates, green monsters, and spiders. I have received so many
letters, e-mails, and messages disappointed that the movie didn't
stay in theaters long enough. I am sorry if you missed the
chance to see Gracie. Just bad timing. It will be out on
DVD in September sometime. I have to say what disappointed me was
that this was a great family film that had a lot to offer, and only
a million people got to see it. If I had the power I would
send it to every household for free; but I don't have that kind of
power. I finished school.... woo hoo... I am now a Jr. in High
School. Eye of the Dolphin is coming out in theaters in
August.
- May - 5/30 I met a lot of wonderful people
along the way on this tour. I feel very blessed to have gotten
the chance to meet people I would have never known. I would like to
say thank you to all of you that came out to see the screenings of
GRACIE. We had a great time didn't we! The kindness
across the United States was overwhelming, and it felt good to hear
people cheer and clap for the final moments of the movie. The
crowds truly enjoyed the experience.
4/29 Wow! I started the Gracie tour across America. I visited
Atlanta, St. Louis, and Houston this week. What a great feeling to
get out there and meet so many nice people. It just reinforces
that we live in a great country. Next weeks we are going
to Boston, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, DC, Detroit, and Seattle, Dallas,
Denver, LA, San Francisco, New York, New Jersey and Chicago.
MySpace is now under CarlySchroeder; instead of Carlyschroeder2006. Well, really I
think it is under both places.
- April - Happy Easter everyone..... It is a day
to celebrate. On a different note, I finally went out and
bought a car. Now I have to learn how to drive it. I am
hoping to do a road trip over spring break. Picturehouse is going to
be taking over my MYSPACE soon because I will be going on tour to
promote GRACIE around the United States. They are going
to show clips on MYSPACEof what I am doing and where on this
planet I am roaming. It sounds like a blast. So if I
turn my camera on you..... make sure you say you love my movie!!!!!!
I did some GRACIE promos for Channel ONE today and an
interview with Girl's Life mag. Also on GL online there
will be a flip book of Eye of the Dolphin with my personal
thoughts.
- March -On April 11th Elizabeth Shue and
I are going to present at the Billy Awards (that is like the Oscars
for women's sports). I just found out that I will be
touring the whole month of May around the United States to promote
GRACIE. I am going
to a different city each day. I went to the LA fashion show on Friday
with my boyfriend. It was very fun and interesting. It wasn't
your typical runway fashion show. It mirrored art where the
models were like mannequins... some were ironing... some playing
poker... some just sitting in cars. It was cool. I
have been doing photo shoots and interview for
Gracie. Here is what
is coming up- Nylon Mag. in May - Teen Vogue in June- Teen Mag in June-
Interview Mag. in June or July - Playsoccer in July. I flew into
Vegas for ShoWest on Monday. Now that was a good time. I
introduced Gracie to the theater owners. The screenings went
extremely well. I was also lucky enough to have a room at the
top of the Bellagio, so I was able to watch the implosion of the
Stardust at 2:30 in the morning. Eye of the
Dolphin has won more awards. WOO HOO!
- February - I have doing a lot of surfing
lately. I really enjoy getting out there and chillin. It
is so peaceful and the locals are extremely nice to me. I went
to a lot of pre-Oscar parties with my cousin Brad. We had a
blast. Eye of the Dolphin had
two major wins last night at the International Family Film Festival.
It won for "Best Drama" and "Best Child Actor." Everyone that
worked on Eye of the Dolphin should be extremely proud of
their hard work.
- January -
PREY is coming
out on DVD January 30th. If you get a chance check it out at
Blockbusters or netflix. My twelve year old brother enjoyed
PREY very much. I am going to voice over
Eye of the Dolphin
the first of February. I am hoping to be cast for this "NAMELESS"
project I have been eyeing for a while. So cross your fingers
for me. I got to see the director's first cut of
Gracie and I
am very pleased with the movie. I can't wait to share it with
everyone in June. I also found out that I might be doing some
promos with David Beckham.... Now that would be outstanding! I
have also experience (for the first time) - going to Varsity
basketball games. It is so much fun. The student yell
and the energy of the games are so high that students are always
just on the edge of being out of control. Good times and team spirit.
GO GREEN!!!!
- December -
I started a myspace tonight....... I don't
know what I am doing, but I wanted to put up a real one so the
posers would go away. So stop by and say hello!
http://www.myspace.com/carlyschroeder2006
Today I worked with Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly,
and Abby Wambach over at the Home Depot Center. We are working
on a DVD for soccer. It will help kids improve their game.
These three girls are incredible people. They love what they
are doing, and they are thankful everyday to be playing the game.
I am going back in April when it gets into full swing to meet some
of the girls.
- November -
Here is a shout out to the
person(s) who put up the
www.carly-girl.com
web site. My friend told me to go there. WOW! It
is very impressive.... Thank you for all your time and dedication!
The trailer for
Eye of the Dolphin is out
http://www.theeyeofthedolphin.com/trailer.htm The Eye of
the Dolphin will be shown for the first time in the Grande Bahamas
on the 10th of December. The trailer for PREY is out now. Check it
out!
http://www.prey.co.za/trailer.html In
December, I am going to be working with Mia Hamm on a promo soccer
DVD for Gatorade. It will have behind the scenes of Gracie.
That is so cool.
- October - I didn't get home for my birthday because we were
still filming Gracie. Kin Shriner called on my Birthday and said,
"It's a great sign to be working on your birthday!" I could
not agree more. I declined on a car for my birthday because I
am still trying to decide what I want. Instead, I got to take
the stylist from Gracie and go on a wild one-day shopping spree in
New York. That was sooooooo much fun! I shopped until my
mom and brother dropped. It was so incredible. Also a
friend flew out to be with me on my birthday. We went to see
Wicked, took a carriage ride around Central Park, and did some.....
you guessed it....SHOPPING. I would love to live in New York
someday.
- September -
Filming in New Jersey was a good time. (except
for my friends that would call around 10:00 pm or later
forgetting there was a three hour time difference.)
About Gracie ...First of all let me say, " My soccer boys are the BEST!" I had
so much fun with these guys. They played in the rain, heat,
cold temps, and all night when they had too. They were so
inspiring because of their passion for the game. I had the best time
on this movie. Unforgettable...Elizabeth Shue and
Andrew Shue have renamed me Carly Shue because I am part of their
family now. I wear that title proudly. I have never put
so much energy into a movie. Each day, I was either physically
challenged by soccer or my day was filled with emotional scenes. This movie and Davis G.
have made
me a better actress because Davis went for specific details, and we
connected artistly. This
was a story about his wife and her family, so he could express
exactly what he needed in each scene.
- August - Here is my Fan mail address:
1560 Newbury Rd. Suite #167 Newbury Park, CA
91320. I know many people have sent fan mail to other
addresses....I am sorry but this is my only fan mail site a present.
And please, please, please, send a 8x10 self-addressed stamped
envelope, so I can return them to you faster. OKAY, this is my
system....it is easy...I'm a kid... I do all the SASE
(self-addresses stamped envelopes) first...the rest I
do a little at a time when I have spare time. I leave
tomorrow for New Jersey to begin filming on
GRACIE. You teenage girls are going to love this
movie...not only does Gracie have a
soccer theme, but it is filled with teenage boys!!!
I will be back mid- October just before my sweet sixteen birthday.
Then I will be driving Yikes!
- July - I am working out every day in Pasadena at
Catz. We are working hard and having a blast. Catz has such a
positive atmosphere. Jim and A G (Froggy) energy levels are so high
and positive that it diverts your mind off the deep burn. Check it out-
search - Catz Sports / Pasadena. If you are in
sports and you hope to hit your highest potential then you should
train here. The results are
amazing. In a month, I will be really for the lashings from
the guys soccer team. I am also learning a few smooth soccer
moves from Dan Calichman. Dan used to play for the LA Galaxy. The
man has skills. I am so stoked about working on this
movie! I just finished sending out all my fan mail as of today
7/9/06. WOOOO HOOO!!!! So if you don't receive a picture from me
within 2 weeks (depending on the country) then I did not get your
letter. I answered all my mail. Sometimes it takes a
while to answer all of it.... like last year when I was out of
country from February until November. It took a while(6 months to be exact)
but I can say "I am caught up!" I even did a Flat Stanley for
a school in South Carolina. I took Flat Stanley all over
Hollywood.
- June-This past weekend I did my most favorite
charity event. The "Run for Life" Jonathan Jacques cancer run. I love
every minute of this event. I am in training for GRACIE. I
travel to Pasadena everyday to do weight training at Catz. I
have to play against large boys in the movie, so they want to make
sure I am physically fit to take the beatings. On September
9th, I will be the Grand Marshall in the Valparaiso, (Orville
Redenbacher's home town), POPCORN FESTIVAL this year. This is a
great honor, and I am thrilled to represent the youths of the
community. I saw the first cut of Eye of the Dolphin last
week. This means we are getting closer to having a release
date. Watching the dolphins in the film makes me miss them so much.
Plus, they did such a great job. The film really gives the feel of
how magical these creatures are and how they check a new person out.
They are so curious, and each has their own personality. The
young boy dolphin Brielan was a show off, and he knew he was cute.
If I was having a conversation with someone on the dock, he
would to continue to jump up and look at me or do tricks until
I gave him my full attention. I would tell him he was sooooo
cute and he would then circle around below watching me with one eye
and that dolphin smile.
- May - Today was my last day of school. I am
heading to Indiana tomorrow. I have so many plans. I will be all
over the place. I am going bowling with my cousins. I am
going to be in a horseshow with my Auntie Kimmy. I am going to go to
my Auntie Tracey's school to check out her Art. I plan to go see
my Kindergarten teacher and hang with some of my Midwest friends.
I will be with my grandmothers for Mother's Day. They are
thrilled. I will be working at my Aunt Cindy's Cold Stones on
Thursday night, May 11th so stop by can grab some yummy ice cream.
- April - I have been taking Drivers Education. I
just finished the classroom portion. I hit the roads next
week. So if you live in California stay off the roads Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday. I did get one of the movies I was
hoping to film. It is in negotiations as we speak. Whoo hoo
I got the other film I wanted. I will announce the Titles as
soon as all negotiations are settled, and I begin to film. I am
planning a trip back to Indiana the first week of May. I can't
wait to see my horse and go riding. Oh yes, I can't wait to
see my family too. (of course !!!!!)
- March - Wow time is flying by this year. I
have been working on school like crazy. High school is taking
up loads of my time. I have been jamming on my guitar a
couple times a week just to get away from school. I have my
sights set on two scripts that I would like to do, but they don't
film until June and July. I worked with Jessica McClintock on a
three day modeling job. I enjoyed every minute of it. What 15
year old wouldn't want to play dress up all day?
- February - Oh my gosh, I had the best time at
the Firewall premiere. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Jessica McClintock sent me the most perfect dress. If you want to
see the premiere pictures go to
www.wireimage.com and type in my name or Firewall.
It was my most favorite premiere yet. My friend and I had a
wonderful time. I will be posting my very own pictures soon in
the scrapbook. I am invited to Jake Thomas's 16th
birthday party this weekend. I can't believe we both turn 16
this year. Time has flown since those Lizzie days. Also,
come chat with me at
www.Teenhollywood.com . Teen Hollywood is setting up a
chat for February 9th at 2:00. This is the day before Firewall
Premieres in Theaters.
- January 2006- Wow a whole year has past. I am
working on PR for Firewall. I haven't been to LA for a month,
and I was quite taken back when I drove into Burbank the other day
and saw the poster for Firewall on a 2 story building. IT was
crazy. I found out the World Premiere is February 2nd. I am
stoked. I am going to take a good friend with me.
Jessica McClintock is sending me a dress for the premiere, and I
can't wait to see it. I was invited into the editing room to
see parts of Eye of the Dolphin. Wow, the film really captures
beautiful of the Bahamas. I am excited about seeing the
finished product. I will begin looping (ADR) for Prey in February.
I hope to finish up these two films in February. Oh, I found
out today that they are pulling a scene out of Firewall where
Virginia and I are in the car. They are going to use it in a
Chrysler commercial. That is so cool. Seven of my dear
friends and I went to the "family and friends" screening of Firewall
in Santa Monica. Everyone loved the movie. Harrison is
absolutely fabulous in the movie. Harrison has to be one of my most
favorite people I have ever met, because he is hard working,
generous, and thoughtful . Harrison made my guest feel very welcomed
at the after party. My girl, Bridget Moyanhan, also came to
support me. What a sweetheart.
- December - I am taking a month off to relax and
enjoy friend and family. A few good friends and I did our 2nd
annual Knott's Berry Farm outing. Rollercoasters are always a
thrill. Our big plans to go to Big Bear skiing were shot down for
lack of snow. I am working really hard on my studies. I
had to catch up for being gone so long. And believe me I get
cut zero slack. I turn in everything my classmates do. I
have been watching the weekly freshman baseball games at the school
(I would have attended) if I wasn't home schooled this year.
Not a bad view. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Years too.
- November - Okay, Harry Potter at the I-Max was
outrageous. I just saw the trailer for Firewall. Go to
Moviefone.
http://movies.aol.com/movie_exclusive_firewall_trailer or
go to....
Then go to Firewall trailer. Today it
was the feature trailer so it comes right up. One of the
posters for THE EYE OF THE DOLPHIN was just sent to me.
Check it out
www.theeyeofthedolphin.com .
FIREWALL COMES OUT FEBRUARY 10TH.
The movie WE ALL FALL DOWN is hitting
all the festivals right now, so if you get a chance go watch it.
Check out the trailer:
www.wafdmovie.com
.
- October - BLUE 14 is now called
THE EYE OF THE DOLPHIN. I just saw the movie FIREWALL at a
private screening in Burbank. Oh my goodness it is a very
exciting movie. My family back in Indiana is going to love it.
I am heading up to Canada to shoot three more scenes for
FIREWALL. I will be gone until the second week of
November. October 1st,I am back home in California, and I was
greeted by wildfires. YIKES! Everyday in South Africa was an
adventure. Now I have to hit the school books hard
before heading back to the Bahamas to finish BLUE 14/THE EYE OF
THE DOLPHIN.
- September - My father and brother came to South
Africa for a visit. I got 3 days off, so we went sight-seeing.
We took a trip into Soweto with our friends Thuli, Vincent, and Vusi.
We visited Nelson Mandela's first home. We ate a Wandies and
went to the Hector Peiterson memorial. Then we grabbed a
Quarter (bunny chow) huge sandwich with french fries, fried egg,
baloney, sausage, fish, sauce, and meat on a loaf of french bread.
You have to sit on this sandwich to get it into your mouth. We
then went to the Apartheid museum. WOW! .... My family then
went on an elephant back safari. I got an elephant all to myself.
We also took a 3 hour jeep safari and saw amazing animals. The
leopard was my favorite. We went to a lion park where Hunter
and I got to feed a giraffe and hold baby lion cubs. It was so
cool!!! Giraffes are my new favorite animal along with
dolphins, lions, and horses. We went to the Cullian diamond mine
where I bought some ~bling~ . NICE! The gold mine was
interesting because we went down hundreds of feet into the main
shaft. We went to the Cradle of Humankind and down into a cave
where the first (oldest) ape-man was discovered. My father and
brother went home and our location for the film moved to Limpopo.
We finished the movie then my mom and I went on a vacation safari to
Sabi Sands. What an adventure. One night we had a
leopard on our deck, and the next evening a herd of 12 elephant
surrounding our bungalow. The following night a lion began roaring
at 2:00 in the morning and did not stop until dawn.
- August - South Africa is totally different than
what I expected. It was not so hot only dry, and the people
are oh so friendly. PREY is about an American family that
takes a trip to Africa. Bridget Moynahan is my new step-mother
that I am not so fond of because I feel she has ripped my parents
apart. My father heads out on a business trip, and he sends us
(3)out on a safari. Well, let's just say the safari goes bad. It is
like JAWS meets PHONE BOOTH or JURASSIC PARK with lions.
My brother, Connor Dowd, is from South Africa. He was a very
nice and sweet kid. This will be a thriller to watch
because it was fueled on high adrenalin while making it. I sat
in the safari jeep with Bridget and Connor filming while a 500
lb. lion was on the roof. What happened when I started
screaming.... well let's just say the lion did not like it one bit.
*note: the lions did not fancy me at all. They did not want to
be my friend.
- July - Okay so I didn't get the three days off
before I headed to South Africa, but that is the way it goes. South
Africa was amazing. I spent 9 weeks there working with lions.
It was very scary yet exciting.
- June- Note* Eye of the Dolphin
is now Blue 14.
I just finished the The Wrong Element/Firewall. What a great
experience. I can't wait to see the finished product. I
made some great friends on this movie.... some real keepers!
That is always a huge bonus. I leave tomorrow for the Bahamas to
shoot BLUE 14. The first three days are dolphin
training. How cool....plus I believe Johnny Depp is down there
somewhere on a boat filming "pirates". As soon as I
finish
BLUE 14 I have 3 days off before I fly to in South
Africa. I am filming a thriller down there called PREY.
I won't be back for a while so have a great summer!
- May - Back filming on theFIREWALL. We
are heading up to Kamloops in a week or so to finish the movie.
This film is really getting exciting. Both production
are trying to adjust scheduling so I can do both The FIREWALL and
RV. They think they may have it worked out.
- April- I am home for a few weeks. Wow! It
is so warm in California.
- March- Filming on the FIREWALL is going
great. Harrison is a sweetheart. Paul Bettany is so
charming. Virginia is a doll face, and she makes me laugh so
hard. Canada is interesting because we are adapting to living
the big city life. We have only driven our car a couple times.
I had a good friend come up and spend spring break with me. We
a had a total blast taking the ferry over to Victoria on the
weekend. In Vancouver we hung out playing guitar, swimming, checking
out the Capilanio suspension bridge, and going to Storyeum.
- February - I came down from Canada for the
weekend. The Independent Spirit Awards were fantastic.
That was truly a great time. I met a lot of interesting
people/stars. It was a wonderful night for MEAN CREEK. Check
out my new pictures under Scrapbook - Cold Case & We All Fall Down.
I am off to Canada.
- January 2005-If
your get a chance pick up W magazine (FEB 2005)
WE ALL FALL DOWN is a blast. It is a period piece, and I
get the wear these awesome dress-up dresses. Yesterday my
wardrobe was great. I got to wear jammies all day long to film.
The directors are twins (Matt and Ross) They are hilarious,
plus they both agree on everything...how does that work....my
brother and I can't even agree on where we will sit in the car.?!
20th -Today is the last day of school until I
finish the two movies. It is exciting, but also sad. I
am really going to miss all my friends.
Thank goodness for IMing and text messaging. I Start We
all Fall Down tomorrow. As soon as I finish filming We
All Fall Down,
I fly to Canada for 4 months to film The Wrong Element.
The Abercrombie and Fitch Spring 2005
promotional catalogue is out in stores now. I'm the one up on
the statue with the paper crown. I will be playing
Charity Yates in Matt and Ross Duffer's movie WE ALL FALL
DOWN. I have to work on perfecting an old English accent.
Mean Creek will be out on DVD and rentable in my area on
January 25th. Great news back home! My Aunt
and Uncle are opening a Cold Stones ice creamery in Valparaiso.
I am thrilled. My Aunt said I could come work for her this
summer. I love Cold Stones! I believe they are having a
grand opening March 1st. Happy New Year to everyone!
I had the best
New Years Eve Ever!!!!!
- December - I spent the month
of December hanging with family and friends. We took in about
20 movies over the holidays! A girlfriend came out from
Indiana for a week. We did it all from surfing one day to
playing in the snow the next day. We had a blast at Knott's
riding all the roller-coasters with a few of my classmates.
Our free time was spent shopping at the malls.
- November -(This
year the Spirit Awards Nominating Committee chose to give a
Special Distinction Award to the ensemble cast of MEAN CREEK.
In the words of the Nominating Committee, "These young actors turned
in performances so uniformly unselfish, and so intricately in tune
with one another, that it became impossible to single any one of
them out from their extraordinary achievement together. Their
work is of such high quality that it moves beyond craft to achieve
that mysterious truth and beauty that constitutes the finest
acting." )I
found out after school today that I will be playing Harrison Ford's
daughter in his next film
The Wrong Element. ONE
LAST CHANCE TO SEE MEAN CREEK
on the big screen
before it comes out on DVD.
Sunday November 21
at New Beverly Cinema - 7165 Beverly Blvd. Los
Angeles. Show times are 3:50 and 7:30 Watch
Cold Case
Nov. 7th on CBS. I did a segment on
Soap Talk
just this past Saturday. We had a really good time. They
let me jump on a couch. I am not allowed to do that so it was
sooooooo much fun. GO VOTE!
- October - I am working this
week for Abercrombie
and Fitch. I
haven't done print work since I was five, so I am extremely excited.
Plus, it is A&F who wouldn't be excited.
Cold Case
will air November 7th or 14th . It is the seventh show of the
season. Studio 22&27 has to be the happiest crew I have ever worked
with as of to date. Emilio Estevez was the director, and he did a
very nice job. I am quite proud of this piece of work.
- September -News
Flash! I start working on
Cold Case next Wednesday. I am doing an episode called
Sleepover. It is an amazing script. I can't
believe summer is gone and school has started. I think I am
the only kid excited about going back to school. My friends
think I am crazy. I just find school very exciting. On
the Hollywood side.... I have my hands on 3 scripts that I would
really like to do this year. My fingers are crossed.
- August has been a whizz-Bang!
Mean Creek is getting a tremendous Buzz. The audiences really
enjoy the movie. I just got home from a two week tour
with Mean Creek. New York was wonderful and busy. It
reminds me of Paris because of its charm and history. I can't
wait to go back to NY and stay longer. I want to check out
Central Park. Our hotel overlooked Central Park and every
morning we could here the horses clomping around the park, but we
never found the time to go into this massive greenery. - It felt
soothing to be back in Chicago. Some of my childhood memories
of Chicago have faded, so it is nice for my mom to refresh my mind
with the sites and buildings. I did get to dip down into
Indiana for 2 days and see family and ride horses with my auntie
Kim.
- July -
I will be traveling to New York for Mean Creeks
premiere on August 12th. I have never been to New York, so I
am very excited. Then over to Chicago for press and the
Chicago screening on the 16th.
The Mean Creek trailer is out It is
Awesome!!! Go to
www.meancreekmovie.com and check it out.
Mean Creek
won the Humanitas for Sundance. I am heading out to go
to Stunt School for the day.
Please
note that they pushed our spot back
because ET needed to run the story of Sam Donaldson's Ranch??( I
think that is his name)...Sorry.
The exclusive Mean Creek trailer premiere will appear on TV on
Entertainment Tonight Friday night, July 16, 2004.
Watch it with some friends!
Happy 4th to all. If you
get a chance go visit Yosemite, because the sights are
breathe-taking and the bears are cool to watch. I am back at
developing my kids reality show and working on a Documentary.
- June - LA Films Fest- Mean Creek screens
June 21st @ 7:00. I am heading out to Yosemite for two
weeks of relaxation! Then I will start a Documentary piece the
end of June or Beginning of July. What a great time. I
will put up the Paris ones soon. Big NEWS!
Mean Creek will premiere on
August 9th here in LA!!!!!!!!
- May - Wow! What a great trip to France. I
have learned one fabulous thing from the French - KICK BACK AND
ENJOY LIFE. The French Rivera was very beautiful and busy.
Busy only because it was the Cannes Film Festival, and I was
promoting
Mean Creek. We did days of photos shoots,
interviews, premiers, and press conferences. Don't get me
wrong, it was not all work. Producer Susan Johnson and I
loved running down the beach at midnight and checking out the hot
guys everywhere. We had some of the most tantalizing dinners
in Cannes. The atmosphere is none I have ever
experienced. People just love being with other people.
Life rotates around meals. Then we headed to Paris.
Okay, I did not want to leave Paris. Paris is so full of life
and history. It is the town of privileged and culture.
In 5 days, this is what we did; Louvre (three times) it is
huge, Orsay,
Notre Dame (twice) once for mass and once to visit the bell
tower, Musee Auguste Rodin -the thinker, Arc de Tromphe,
Eiffel Tower, Musee de l'Armee, Versailles Chateau,
Batobus tour up and down the Seine River, and a 14 hour bus
tour out to Mont Saint Michel - 14th century castle and over
to Normandy. Plus we did a whole lot of shopping, and I
ate ice cream three times a day. Hey, I was on vacation.
It was a trip I will never forget.
- April- My mother and I are heading over to France
on May 12th. My movie Mean Creek
will premier on Friday night, I am so excited. I hear we are having
a big after-party on the beach. I never thought I would be at a
party on the Mediterranean Sea. We are going to Cannes first,
then Nice, and then onto Paris for 5 days. I have been working on my
French, so far, I can be very polite. That is about it. I hope
the French like polite Americans. I also know how to get bread,
cheese, soup, and salad. I will survive. - Hey if
your interested in
Whitewater rafting come join us over Mother's Day
Weekend! Kids With a Cause is having their 3rd annual Camping
and whitewater rafting trip.
- March -We are going to Cannes!!!! Oh I hope I see
my favorite pirate Johnny. 3/5/04 Okay - My mother
and I just finished mailing the last 400 pieces of fan mail.
It is all
officially out! So if you don't receive a
letter from me in the next two weeks to a month (depending on the
country you live in) then I did not receive it. Ren-Mar
doesn't send my mail through. General Hospital and Port
Charles is in the process of stopping. Kid with a Cause sends
it weekly or Monthly at their convenience. This is
basically to tell all you fans, that we have responded to
every piece of fan mail.
- February - My grandma Jean came out from Indiana
for a month. We went to the Grand Canyon and San Francisco.
I am very busy developing a teen reality show with a writer friend
of mine. We hope to start pitching it in March. If it
works out, I will post the great news. I have been reading
hordes of scripts because you know it is pilot season. I
haven't found one fit for me yet (most characters are at least 3
years older than me), but tomorrow is another day and another
script. I have never been part of the pilot season. It's a
crazy wild time in Hollywood. I didn't see it but everyone at
school says that I was on VH1/ or MTV Sunday night with Hailey
Duff. It was showing our Sundance expericence. Also some
sundance pictures are up under Scrap Book II page 6.
WooooHOOOO! Paramount bought MEAN CREEK
last night. I am so wildly thrilled for the producers and
director/writer. MEEK CREEK is going to theaters.
Now we wait to hear if we go to Cannes.
- January2004 1/28/04 I just got
back from Sundance. What an experience of a lifetime.
All of the cast came except Josh, he had to work. And we
missed him very much. It was a working trip but well worth it.
Everyone seemed to love the MEAN CREEK. You have to
check out the website
www.meancreekmovie.com . It was great to watch an audience react
to the different parts. It was terrific that they laughed in
the right places, gasped in the right places, and actually clapped
in the right places. It was overwhelming to see it all come
together. I was so proud of everyone in the movie because they
did an exceptional job. I totally love the music by the waterfall.
We did manage time to play. The house the producers leased had
a huge hill beside it covered with snow. We built ramps
and did some wild sledding on our off time(day and night). MEAN
CREEK has special meaning to me because of the
friendships I made, not only the cast but the producers too. ****
note: side story**** While we were at Sundance my brother and
dad were traveling up to join us, but on the way they were in a
major car accident and became hospitalized in Southern Utah.
The producers of Mean Creek dropped everything and drove my mother
and I seven hours to the hospital. (My brother and dad have
recovered, and they are doing well) We will never forget what they
did for our family. Rick, Hagai, and Susan are amazing people.
1/02/04
GOT MILK? I can't believe they
brought that back out. I was eight when I shot that.
It is my most favorite commercial. Though, I do like my
Shakin' Bake commercial. May I just say that Winter Break was
perfect. I got to have my friends over a lot. We had a
Monopoly day,a Christmas luncheon with BINGO, two days out to the
movies and pizza, and a trip to Big Bear to play in the snow. One of
my friends had never seen snow. The day after Christmas we
went to Santa Anita race track. My brother and I were
invited to ride in the carriage before the first race.
We were right next to the jockeys. Hunter is the same size as the
jockeys. The horses were magnificent.
- December - I hope to have some new pictures up
soon. Okay -for all of you that try out for parts and don't get them
don't feel bad. I just went to a network testing for a series.
In the end, I didn't get the part, and I was bummed.
They said I was too poised. Well, I went to bed at 6:00 and
woke up the next day at 7:00. I was refreshed and ready to
move on to the next project. Don't ever give up because there
might be something great around the corner. I believe I am
going to a luncheon next week to listen to Condoleezza Rice. I
am sure all of you know that she is the Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs. My fingers are crossed in hopes
we can get tickets. In January, I begin guitar lesson and
fencing classes. I have waited 4 years to take fencing
classes. I think that is going to be the bomb. 12/01/03
I am wild out of my mind excited. I just found out that the
movie I did this summer, MEAN CREEK, is going to
Sundance. I will be going to the Sundance
festival January 17th thur 24th. Oh what great fun this trip
will be with all my pals. And hopefully a few days of skiing in too.
- November- Thank you to everyone that came an
built a bear.....540 bears were built and sent out THANKS!!!
I will be at the OAKS MALL this Saturday(NOVEMBER 8th) in Thousand
Oaks, CA. My brother and I will be first in line at
BUILD A BEAR. We will be making bears to send
to the kids that lost their homes to the resent California
Wildfires. So if you want to help out and make a bear.... we
will see you on the 8th.
NEWS FLASH - I just saw the first cut of MEAN
CREEK...I am very impressed with all the actors. I am thrilled
that I was part of this movie. It is definitely for a mature
audience.....13 and above. My boy friend and I are 13 but the rest
of the actors play 16 - 23. I was asked
today to be in the Hollywood Parade on November 30th. But we
can't attend. The IMDB is a great place to check out.
It tells you about actors and movies. 11/01/03-I was invited
to see the first cut of MEAN CREEK. I am very excited.
I miss being in Oregon and hanging with the fellas. What
a great group of guys.
- October - Okay, I am now officially a thirteen
year old! Look out world. I had the best party with some
of my friends. Over one hundred kids rocking out on Saturday
night. Check out the pictures from the ROLLERBASH, on page 5 of
Scrap Book II. I have to say I am so lucky because at the
beginning of this school year the kids were really REALLY nice to me
and made me feel welcome. What a blessing. I really like
my school because my new friends are totally awesome. We talk
very little about the movie business and just hang out and be
teenagers. We hang with some guy friends that look out for me,
and I think that is very cool. Every weekend there has been
either birthday parties or dances to go to, so my social
calendar has been rocking!!!!
- September - I just started a new school and, I
love it! The kids are cool and my teachers are great.
This is going to be my best year ever. I am planning my 13th
birthday party bash. I am finally going to be a teenager in
October. WOOO HOOO! I am debating on the theme of the
party. Rollerbash or Hawaiian beach party.
- August- Just got back from Oregon/Washington from
filming "Mean Creek". It's a story
about revenge and how an innocent prank can turn deadly with the
snap of your fingers. I worked with a bunch of great
people from LA., New York, Chicago, and Oregon. I will post
some pictures real soon. I made some great life-long
friends like Kori and Ryan Kelley and Trevor Morgan (which says he
is going to marry me when he is 30.) We worked extremely hard on
Mean Creek, but we also hung out and went to a lot of
movies together.
Mean Creek is about a day in the life of six
kids, and I was the only girl. I learned more about how boys think
and talk than I ever wanted to know. The huge bonus, this summer,
was working without schooling!
- July- I am in Portland Oregon working on a movie.
I'll be back late August. So if you see me in Portland say hey!
- June- I just booked a movie. I am a lead..Yahooo!
And my leading guy is Rory Culkin. I
leave in a few days to go to Indiana for a brief visit, then we fly
straight to Portland Oregon to begin filming until the end of
August. Okay, that's my summer vacation. So
everyone have a great summer. PS. My mom and I are working
hard to finish all the present day fan mail before we leave.
We hope to finish it up by next Monday.(Fat chance) Thanks for
all the cards and letters. It is amazing and at times overwhelming
the amount mail I receive, but I do my best to respond once to
everyone.
- May- New Pictures of the
TLMM -The Lizzie McGuire Movie-Premier check them out. And

relaxing because we went to the beach camping. Only 43 days

because last year was totally adventurous. Save your spot at the
KWAC website.
- February - My special project has been approved!
Okay, Now I need help. It's called Kids With A
Cause - PROJECT: SNUGGLE -UP. Last month, I learned
about the thousands of children across America that are taken from
their home due to abandonment, neglect and/or abuse. Many of these
children go to bed at night without a personal item to snuggle.
I want to make these children feel better. I want to
make them all cozy blankets, and write a personal note telling them
how much I care. I want children to care about other children.
I would like kids and adults to help me make these blankets.
Check out
PROJECT:SNUGGLE-UP to see what I am doing to help
these kids. See how easy it is for you to help too.
- January2003 - I got the pictures developed from
our skiing trip. Check them out in Scrap Book II page 5.
Page 5 ends 2002. There is also a picture of Hunter,
myself, and Saint Nick. I am working on a starting a special
project with
Kids With A Cause. It is taking up most of my
spare time. As soon as it is approved, I will be asking
everyone for help. I am so excited about it. It is a
great opportunity to help other children out. Zip! That's all
I can say for now. I was a presenter at the OMNI AWARDS.
It was a grand night of entertainment. I did work on Port
Charles a few weeks in January. My favorite Lizzie
show is airing,
Lizzie's Eleven. It is such a slick
show. I have seven more to air. Keep watching.

to see all the cast again. I just have to say, " I was the
meanest Melina Bianco ever!" (check out the pictures in the
scrapbook.)
The Lizzie McGuire Movie is due out on May 2, 2003. We
stayed in Vancouver an extra few days to check out the
beautiful Canadian countryside. Also, My grandmother flew in from
Indiana. I was thrilled to share this time with her. The
newest and most coolest thing that I did in Canada was going to high
tea in Victoria at The Empress. I went to the George Lopez Christmas
party and had a great time dancing the night away. Also, I learned
to snow ski up at Big Bear Ski Resort over Christmas break.
What a blast! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

to Canada to shoot the Lizzie McGuire Movie.
It's called Ciao Lizzie.
