Summary

You may know her as Ren from Even Stevens, Belle on Broadway, or the voice of Kim Possible! Christy Carlson Romano invited me into her gorgeous home in Austin to discuss the reality of being a Disney star, her partying days, choosing to be sober, finding the love of her life, becoming a mom, advocating for child actors, and her current career aspirations. It's a hot one!
