Today we have our Q&A with McKenzie Westmore held earlier in the fall. McKenzie played the role of Marty and James’ mom Sheridan Crane on Passions. In addition, she also held the role of Annie’s psychiatrist Dr. Sinclair on All My Children last year. Don’t forget to follow her on Twitter and stop by and add her to Facebook
1. How did you enjoy working with Nicole Cox?
Nicole was an anomaly in many ways. I never really had any scenes with her but at times i would be on set watching the filming with her and was always amazed! Not only was she just perfect on set as a baby but grew into being a perfect little actress. she always listened and followed directions so well at such a young age.
2. What are some of the most challenging aspects of working with infants on set?
one of the most challenging aspects is timing. There are limits to the time they can work (and rightfully so) but it does make scheduling a challenge.
3. How did you enjoy working with Daniel Chalfa and Seth Stern?
Daniel and Seth were also great kids to work with! All the Passions kids were fantastic!!
4. What was the most challenging part of filming the scenes of Marty’s birth?
The hardest part of filming martys birth more than anything for me was the fact that I had been pregnant and miscarried my own child not too long before that scene was filmed. it was wonderful holding a beautiful baby but difficult at the same time.
5. When there were twins on set were you able to tell the kids apart?
I could never tell the twins apart! I was so bad at that! lol!
6. What has been your favorite scenes you’ve done involving one of the kids?
too many to name!
7. When on All My Children, did you get a chance to meet any of the children such as Lucy who played Annie’s daughter Emma?
I did meet Lucy and she was a living doll! so adorable and just sweet as could be!
8. Did you ever get to meet Rylee Fransler who played Young Sheridan?
I did and also Sara Paxton.
9. What has been one of the funniest moments you can remember when working with children on set?
I remember one of the kids was in a Church scene with us and heard a noise and said “who farted?”. that happened actually several times with the kids and it was funny every time!
10. Have you ever gotten a chance to see any of the kids since Passions ended, at events or other projects etc.?
no, I have not. Just Facebook with Sara Paxton.
We’d like to thank McKenzie for participating in the Star-Kidz Holiday Q&A event this year!
