The actress is known for her character Chessy in 1998’s The Parent Trap.
“Just because you’re in a movie doesn’t mean you’re rich. I wasn’t a star. I was the woman that made you cry in The Parent Trap, and you’re still looking for a job the next week. So honestly, feeling safe? The season four pickup of Abbott.”
Her role as teacher Melissa Schemmenti in the hit ABC sitcom allowed her to afford to take her four children on their first major family vacation, a trip to Italy last summer.
“I had not been able to afford taking my kids on a vacation outside of taking them to the San Diego Zoo, or to go skiing locally. This was the first time I was able to have everybody go on a trip.”
