“When I was younger I liked to start something and not finish it, so my dad wasn’t so sure about me leaving for L.A. He convinced me to take three weeks of acting lessons here first to make sure I liked it before leaving,” she says. “It’s a big deal that I finished this.” Well, she’s not done, but Schaefer got a great start with a supporting role in “Fashion House” for her first acting job. The 65-episode series stars Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild as fashion executives, and Schaefer plays Lexi, Derek’s assistant. The “Devil Wears Prada”-ish show isn’t your typical once-a-week gig. The My Network show premieres a new episode each night at 8 Monday through Friday. “Because it’s based on this telenovela from Cuba, it has a beginning and an end,” Schaefer says. Schaefer says she’ll be back in Los Angeles to audition for future television and film roles in a couple of weeks. Q: What was your favorite toy as a kid? A: Polly Pockets, even though I always lost all the parts. Q: How many pairs of shoes do you own? A:(blushing) Maybe 80? Probably more. Q: Have you ever been in a fistfight? A: No. There are a lot of catfights on the show, but I’ve never been in a real one. Q: What was your first car? A: A BMW convertible. My dad was like, “Couldn’t you be happy with a Jetta?” But I really had to have the BMW. Q: Rootie-Tootie Fresh ’n’ Fruity or Moons Over My Hammy? A: Rootie-Tootie for sure. Q: What’s your favorite movie scene? A: My favorite movie is “Grease,” and my favorite scene is probably the “Summer Loving” sequence. Q: What deodorant do you use? A: Dove. Q: Name five things you can’t live without. A: My cell phone, lip gloss, my favorite pair of jeans, Starbucks and my family. Q: What’s your favorite local hangout? A: I like to hang out in Old Town (Scottsdale). Q: When was the last time you cried? A: Yesterday when I saw my dad. Q: Are you wearing underwear? A: Yes. Q:What song makes you homicidal? A: Kid songs, because I'm always with my cousins. Oh God, the Veggie Tales! My cousin knows all the words. Q: What’s your favorite Deadly Sin? A: Pride.
