They talked a lot about their experiences growing up and how hard they were. So, I was very focused on their story. I really do appreciate that they were consistently doing their best.”


Apart from that, it was Michael and Nancy who supported Victoria to be an actress. They played a big role in her exposure to theatre and performance arts. Victoria said in an interview with the Virginia Gazette, “I think you are born a performer, but my appreciation for the arts was definitely fostered by my parents.”
