Summary

Lights, camera, and...action! Kid star Rebecca Rubin is ready to take center stage. Hot on the heels of her tenth birthday, Rebecca spends the day with her cool cousin Max at a movie studio. When the opportunity presents itself to take on a (non-speaking) role, Rebecca rises to the occasion, of course. During this episode, we talk about Rebecca's birthday celebration, her family's Passover traditions, and the world of cinema in her lifetime. We also offer our summer reading recommendations (so far).
