00:00Michelle was on all my children at the same time as I was.
00:02So I had known her, and she was so talented.
00:04Hadn't seen her in a few years.
00:05And my husband was preparing to do a movie
00:08where he was playing a baseball player.
00:09And they were practicing at a local high school
00:11that has a very good baseball team.
00:13This little girl came up to me.
00:15She was like, oh my god, I don't know
00:16if you're going to remember me.
00:17And it was, of course I did, it was Michelle.
00:21And she had heard that I was there watching Freddie,
00:24and so she had cut class to come visit me.
00:27And I had known that the next season,
00:30it might have even been two seasons,
00:31but I think it was the next season
00:32that they were bringing on this younger sister.
00:34And I was like, I have an idea.
00:36She was a huge Buffy fan.
00:37So I brought her to the set, introduced her to everyone,
00:39so that she would be in their heads.
00:41And by the time they started casting,
00:43they just kept going back to Michelle,
00:45because I had sort of like planted that seed.
00:47So, and that's how little Dawn was born.
00:53Buffy, if you're going out, why don't you take your sister?
00:58Mom?
00:58Mom?
