| 0:00.0 | Our top 25 count on continues. Coming in at number nine, actress Julisa Cadarone. I don't know about you. I fell in love with her on Hentafide. And I was inspired hearing Julisa retell the story of the big risk that helped her land that big role. |
| 0:20.1 | Julia, in preparing for a conversation, I've read pretty much every interview you've ever done. |
| 0:26.2 | What I don't have a good sense of is how you grew up. |
| 0:30.1 | I mean, I hear you grew up between New York and Miami. |
| 0:34.6 | Give me a sense of what that childhood was like. |
