1. How did you like shooting for Kid’s Dream?

I love modeling for Kid’s Dream. They have beautiful dresses. We worked with different photographers and I enjoyed working with all of them. The best part is I got to keep the dresses I modeled.

2. What was the experience like working on Heaven, Here I Come?

It was a fun experience for me as well as my family. We spent almost a week filming my part. My mom, dad and little brother traveled with me to Long Island where we filmed it. We visited beautiful places there after filming. I worked with Joe Sackett who is a talented writer/director. Most of the crew were future directors who came from different parts of the world. They always made sure I was entertained on set. One Chinese crew member taught me Chinese words while another one made me a mermaid tail. I also got to eat a lot of taffy during and after filming.

3. What was your time on set like filming for The Jim Gaffigan Show?

It was nothing but fun because all I did was play with the kids in the playground during filming.

4. How did you enjoy working with the other kids?

I always enjoy working with other kids. It’s play date for me. I always end up having a new “pretend” brother or sister. They all became my friends.

5. What was filming your TelMD commercial like?

It was great! It was filmed it in this beautiful apartment in NYC. Belle was the only kid. She had to play different roles, a sick kid, a school girl, a girl eating with her mom and dad, and a girl reading a book with her dad. Ben Nelson who is the director is very talented not only in filming but he makes this super delicious oatmeal balls that Belle and the other actors love. The famous and friendly Wlaa Style is the stylist. The director and staff are friendly and accommodating, very organized and they made sure everyone was well fed.

6. What was it like shooting at the Plaza Hotel with Bound By the Crown?

The place is beautiful! Belle was one of the 9 lucky girls chosen out of 400 submissions to shoot that day. She had a great time. She made friends with the other models and she got to play with Victoria’s make up kit. The photoshoot was done in the penthouse of The Plaza with the “Dream Team”.

Susanna Barett Paliotta’s beautiful dresses, Brett Martelli’s photography and Stacie Fitzgerald’s styling was a perfect combination of talents.

7. How did you enjoy shooting for The Glossy Chick?

My photoshoot with Glossy Chick was fun, after the shoot they gave us little charms that I love to collect and I got to see lots of my model friends there.

8. What was the coolest part about becoming Matthew McConaughey’s wife Camila for Toddlewood?

I got to dress up and look like the mini me of Super Model Camilla Alves, painted my nails and saw myself on TV.

9. What has the experience been like so far working on Vinyl?

VINYL is my best experience. When I filmed VINYL I had my own trailer/dressing room and they assigned me a personal assistant. I got to hang out with Olivia Wilde, Bobby Cannavale, Brigitte Hjort Sorensen and other actors. I experienced working with great directors like Martin Scorcece, Allen Coulter, Mark Romanek and others. I had Bobby Cannavale and Brigitte Hjort Sorensen sign my pink guitar. They had lots of snacks and candies on set. I love that part! They took good care of me on set. One day my personal assistant even carried me on her back from my trailer to the set so I didn’t have to walk. My favorite part is when I go to hair and makeup. This is something special that I didn’t experience before and it’s all good.

10. Is there anything you can share with us about your role of Jenna Finestra?

I’m not sure what we are allowed to share yet but Jenna Finestra is the daughter of the lead Character Richie Finestra who is the president of a record label company, played by the very talented Bobby Cannavale. VINYL will premiere on February 14, 2016 Valentine’s Day at 9PM on HBO.

 

We’d like to thank Belle for participating in this year’s Holiday Q&A Event!
