Even as a young teen, we see her as charismatic as ever when she is asked how she thinks the film will stack up against films like Terminator 2, which was a huge box-office hit.

"Even if this doesn't do really as well as we really hope it does, it's O.K.," she says in the featured video flashback. "Just as long as we touched a few people, it's really worth it."

"Well, I do, but I feel like this is a marking point in our career and it's gonna be tough to ever really top this one," she says.
