Twin sisters Camilla Rosso and Rebecca Rosso were first discovered by a producer while they were in the audience of their favorite television show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.  In a few months they were part of the show and appeared in seven episodes.

The two are now starring in their own movie, ABC Family’s Legally Blondes, which is the third installment in the Legally Blonde movie franchise.  Camilla and Rebecca play Annabelle and Isabelle Woods (respectively), British cousins of Elle Wood, the main character of the previous films, who was played by Reese Witherspoon, who serves as a producer on this movie.  Problems and hilarity ensues when the twins attend a prestigious prep school in California where they are horrified to learn they can’t flaunt their fashion and must wear - *GASP* - uniforms.  That’s not their only problem, as the girls get framed for a crime they didn’t commit and must use that Woods’ charm to clear their names. The two recently sat down to answer questions about the film, and their acting aspirations.

Question>  I read that the two of you were just pulled out of the audience when you were watching Zack and Cody.  What was that like and can you tell us about that?

Becky>   Yes, we went to a live taping of the show, which was open for the public and the executive producer saw that we were twins.  So he asked if we would audition and after a few months of acting lessons we got on seven episodes.

Question> Were you interested in acting before that happened?

Milly>   Well, we love acting and singing and dancing, but we’d never pursued it because our mum always told us it was a hard business to get into and that there was a lot of competition.  But when we were discovered, it felt like it was a dream come true because we only saw that happens in movies. 

Question> Yes, it’s surprising.  That would be a great thing to have happen.  So now that you’ve done this, if you could have a dream role of anything, what would that be? 

Becky>   We would love to have our own show.  Right now we have a script in development so we’re hoping everything goes well.  It would be a dream come true to have our own series.  We love doing comedy. 

Question> What was your favorite part about working on the movie?

Milly>   I remember on the first day filming, I was quite nervous.  But when I got to my trailer, there were lots of flowers and producers and crew members and we even got a big box of cookies and a nice note from Reese Witherspoon.  It was really encouraging and made us feel less nervous. 

Becky>   A memorable moment on the set for me was when we filmed one scene where there was supposed to be a party and half way through the scene, it started to rain, so everyone had to hurry up and try to get through the scene.  We had to hold umbrellas in between takes.  We saw our hair getting flatter and flatter by the minute.  By the time we finished the scene, our hair was just poking out, but that was a great day for me. 

Question> How were you two chosen for the movie Legally Blondes?  Did you audition? 

Milly>   We actually had a meeting with MGM because they saw us in The Suite Life and they wanted to do a project with us.  They brought the parts from Legally Blondes, so we ended up doing the third Legally Blonde movie because the first is one of our favorite films.  So it was very exciting for us. 

Question> What was the most challenging thing about starring in Legally Blondes? 

Becky>   Since this was our first movie, obviously, we were a bit nervous.  One of the things that was challenging was that we had so many lines and we to memorize them and then sometimes they would change the lines right before we had to film it.  I feel confident in my acting when I have time to prepare, so that was quite challenging.  But at the same time, I grew and I learned something and I think I’ll be even better on the set in my next film. 

Question> How have your lives changed since becoming actors? 

Milly>   Everywhere we go where there are lots of children, people come up to us and say they liked The Suite Life or they liked Legally Blondes.  And they take photos of us, which didn’t happen before until we started acting.  But it’s always really nice when they come up because they’re always really sweet and we find it fun to get recognized.  When we’re walking around, people see that we’re twins and then realize we were in The Suite Life or Legally Blondes, so lots of people come up to us when we go to events and stuff. 

Question> You said that you had gotten a note from Reese Witherspoon, did she give you any advice throughout the movie did you get to meet her in person and what that was like?

Becky>    Yes, before we started filming, we had lunch with her and we were not disappointed when we met her because she’s so friendly and happy, and a really kind and caring person.  We think she’s an amazing actress, so to get to work with her is such an honor.  She sent us cookies and a note to our trailer on the first day of filming.  She wrote about taking on projects that we believe in and to be prepared and professional on the set and really enjoy the whole experience. 

Question> Awesome.  Dylan and Cole were obviously twins on The Suite Life and they’ve been acting ever since they were little.  Did they give you any advice for acting or what it was like working with two brothers, since you’re two sisters?

Milly>   Yes, they’ve been acting for a while.  They were really encouraging and welcoming to us when we did The Suite Life because it was our first professional acting.  They were really funny and then we used to hang out with them in the dressing rooms at lunch, but at the same time, they’re always being professional and good on set.  So it was a lot of fun working with them and it was cool that we got to work with twins.

Question> In the future, would you want to work separately or are you into the same kind of movies and TV shows, or do you have different aspirations?

Becky>   Right now, it’s so much fun to work together.  But in the future, we might want to work on different projects, but we’d love to mix it up.  We like most of the same things and we have similar personalities, so we do compete for the same roles, so that will be interesting. 

 Question> Where do you draw your inspiration for the roles in the movie?

Milly>   We definitely know we’re excited to have the mean girls in the movie, because we’ve been in several schools and we did have mean girls.  We won’t name any names, but we did come home in tears for a while.  But luckily everything turned out okay, so we were able to draw from that, too. We were very lucky to have each other. 

Question> Did you use any materials from the other movies when you worked on your parts or did you try to make it different? 

Becky>   The Legally Blonde movies are some of our favorite films, so we had watched them loads of times before.  Before we started the filming, we watched them and we tried look at some of Elle’s mannerisms.

Question> Now you’ve done a movie and you’ve done television.   What do you like most about each of them?  Do you prefer one over the other? 

Milly>   We really like both because with The Suite Life, we love filming in front of a live audience, because the energy is always really great.  But then at the same time, when we’re working on a movie, you get to film in different locations….. Malibu and on the Queen Mary, so that was also really fun.  So I don’t know.  I think we both want to see more of each in the future. 

Question> Would you ever be interested in directing or writing in the future as well? 

Becky>   We haven’t really thought about that.   That would way into the future, but right now, we’re enjoying acting and being actors in the film. We’ll leave the writing to the professionals. 

Question> Would you like to sing or dance on film?

Becky>   We grew up singing and dancing with our sisters.  There are three other sisters, five girls in total.   We used to pretend to be the Spice Girls and put on performances and stuff like that.  So we’d definitely love to do something with singing and dancing in the future.   We actually recorded a song for Legally Blondes and it comes on at the end of the movie called “Lucky Girl.”  Right now we’re just taking lots of lessons, so we’d love to do something with singing in the future. 

Question> Since you have so many sisters, what do they think about your acting?  Do they enjoy it themselves and want to do it, or are they just happy for you and what you’re doing? 

Milly>   They all love it.  Our 18 year old sister also really likes acting.  She wants to be an actor as well.  When we found out that we were going to be doing Legally Blonde, we were all jumping up and down, screaming.   My sister was so happy and luckily there was no one underneath our apartment because we really made a lot of noise.  But, yes, they’re very supportive and they’re always very excited for us when they see us on the television. 

Question> You mentioned that you may be in line for a series.  Do you have any information on the story line that would follow?

Becky>   It’s still in development.  Right now they’re working on a script, but we know it’s about twins.  We can’t really say any more than that and we don’t know ourselves much more than that. 

Question> Is there any part, like a scene, that you filmed for the movie that they took out that you would like to see in it or you would have like to have seen in it?

Becky>   We filmed a scene on the Queen Mary, and they did keep some of it in the film when we get humiliated; but there was an extended version of the scene where I’m trying to get out of a situation and make a long speech. They cut out the time, but we did make a DVD and it will be at the end of the movie when the credits are rolling.

Question> If this hadn’t happened and you weren’t acting, what do you think you would be doing now?

Milly>   I think if I wasn’t acting, I’d like to be a tennis player or a dog trainer. 

Question> When you were done with he movie, did you watch it back? I know some actors don’t like to watch themselves act.  Others do.  Do you watch yourself?

Becky>   Yes, we watched the whole time.  Our thing is ….we cringe when we watch ourselves on the television.  Even though our sisters and our mom and dad are really proud, we get rather embarrassed when we see ourselves on the television. 

Question> Can you run us through a typical day on the set of the movie?

Milly>   Most days, we get up really early, which we’re not really big fans of because we’re not morning people.  We get up really early and then go to hair and makeup and then we run our lines and we would do three hours of school, as much as we could at school.  And then we’d start rehearsing for a scene and basically start forming it.  And that took a while and then we have lunch and that was always really fun.  We hang out with our costars.  Then we’d probably do a bit more school and then more filming scenes and then we go to sleep. 

Question> Is it hard doing the school in between? 

Becky>   We had a really nice set teacher.  Education is really important, so we didn’t mind.  We just focus on our school when we have to and then we do our acting.  But it was funny because we realized that some of the things our characters are learning in the movie, we were learning in school.

Question> When you played the roles, did you ever just offer any advice or input into what the characters were doing or saying?

Milly>   If we had any questions, we would ask the director and he was so nice and made us feel comfortable.  If we didn’t think some of the words that were in the script would be something we’d actually say in England, then we’d tell him, so we felt very comfortable. 

Question> Are you living full time in America now, or travelling back and forth to England? 

Becky>   We live in California now.  We live in Los Angeles.  We’ve been living here for about four years and we love it here.  Everyone seems so friendly here and the weather is amazing, so much better than England.  But we do miss our family and friends in England sometimes and we go back every time that we can. 

Question> What books, music, and TV are you interested in personally?

Milly>   We love Taylor Swift and also Gwen Stefani and we love watching Project Runway and American Idol and the new episodes on ABC Family.   We recently just started watching “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Make It or Break It,” and we love those.
