I was so excited to talk to Lacy Camp and her daughter Darby Camp about their acting careers! This mother daughter duo are teaming with talent. So much so, they are both starring in the new UPTV movie “When We Last Spoke.” Darby plays a younger version of the character her mom plays named Juliet.

“When We Last Spoke” airs April 4 on UPTV.

“When We Last Spoke” is set in 1967. Two rambunctious sisters are abandoned and raised by doting grandparents and one wacky great-grandmother in the fictional southern town of Fireside. Humor, heartbreak and triumph are served with whipped cream and lots of local nuts in this heartwarming tale of family, friendship and forgiveness.​

Lacy has been on a ton of projects like “Vice Principals,” “Outcast” and “Red Band Society.” She tells me her daughter showed a natural talent for acting at a young age. And at 13, she’s got a resume most adults would dream of. She starred as Reese Witherspoon’s daughter in “Big Little Lies” when she was just 9. And you’ll recognize her from “The Christmas Chronicles” movies and the upcoming “Clifford the Big Red Dog” movie where she plays Emily Elizabeth. I loved hearing how supportive Lacy is of Darby’s career and how well they work together.

It was also interesting to hear the perspective of working actors that doesn’t live in NYC or Los Angeles. The Camps live in North Carolina where they enjoy a quiet, non-Hollywood life (and I imagine it’s also much cheaper!) We talked about how they navigate auditions, and working on set. It was very inspiring to hear that it is possible to be successful in this business without living in the two most expensive cities.

Take a minute to listen to their story and don’t forget to watch them in “When We Last Spoke” April 4th on UPTV!
