For a while there, the soft-spoken, self-effacing young woman thought she might like a career in entertainment. Not so much anymore, she says with a chuckle. Why is that? "Because I don’t have any talent except being naked," she says, laughing even harder. "Acting is simply unrealistic for me. I just live for the day," she says brightly.
