Willa Holland

Just in case you dont know who Willa Holland is, I'm going to let you know! Willa Holland is an up and coming actress who didn't start in the entertainment buisness, even though her family has always been apart of it. She become a model at early age, she signed to Ford Models and very quickly became one of their busiest models. I've been told she was once called the most famous child model in America. Since she has conquered modelling, Willa has now decided to join in the family buisness and challenge herself to become a successful actress on both the little screen as well as the big screen.  

You're going to have a lot of chances to get acquainted with this ambitious stunning  actress in the future. Willa (whose stepdad is director Brian De Palma) can be seen in Jason Freeland's indie drama Garden Party, followed by  three big-screen projects opposite A-list talent like Dennis Quaid, Colin Firth and Susan Sarandon. 

Willa had a busy year in 2008! "Chasing 3000" was released, where she has a short role, She also had 3 other movies released this year. "Genova", "Middle of Nowhere" and "Garden Party", where she has a lead role.

Willa was asked what the differences are between working tv vs feature were. Also she was asked about her thoughts on getting to work with some A-list talent on on her first feature choices. Here's what she said: 

Q: What was it like to go from The O.C. to Garden Party?

A: It was very, very different, because on this film it wasn't that large of a crew, probably only 20 or 30 people. But on The O.C. we were working with like 200 people on the call sheet!

Q: You worked with Dennis Quaid in the upcoming Legion. Did he give you any advice about making it in Hollywood? 

A: He is one my favorite people ever. The night before we began shooting, we had a cast dinner, and we randomly got seated next to each other. We ended up having like a 45-minute-long conversation, and we got really close on this project...I think for everyone in this industry, he just prays that we all manage to keep our heads firmly on our shoulders in this day and age and our feet on the ground.

Q: Did you check out Bridget Jones's Diary before going to work on Genova with Colin Firth?

A: I actually have never seen that. For an actor, I am actually a really bad movie watcher. I should have seen every film out there, but oddly I have not. But I knew who he was, I saw him in Love Actually. I love him to death. He is one of the biggest sweathearts. 

Q: In Middle of Nowhere, you worked with Susan Sarandon. She's so political. Did she try and impart any of her enthusiasm onto you? Did she inspire you to get excited for the election?

A: I actually try and stay away from politics because I don't know too much about it.

In closing we have a few Interesting Tidbits to share with you as well:
