Emma Roberts: Growing up on set was great

16th March 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Emma Roberts has recalled a childhood spent running around on movie sets.

The 20-year-old American actress has been dubbed as one-to-watch for 2011 and stars in upcoming horror Scream 4, the latest in Wes Cravens spooky franchise.

The talented actress is well known for her connections to Hollywood royalty, as her father is 54-year-old actor Eric Roberts and her aunt is screen icon Julia Roberts, 43.

Emma enjoyed being brought up in a showbiz environment, and admits she loved being pampered whenever she went to movie sets to spend time with family.

"I was always running around to the make-up trailer and the wardrobe trailer, trying on clothes and letting people do my hair," she told the April issue of Elle. "I loved it."

Emma hopes to follow in the footsteps of her movie idols such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson. Gwyneths parents are actress Blythe Danner and late director Bruce Paltrow, while Kate was raised by movie star mom Goldie Hawn and her long-time actor boyfriend Kurt Russell. Emma admires the way both stars have become successful in their own right, and plans to do the same thing.

"Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson have made names for themselves regardless of the fact that their parents were famous," she added. "I'd like to have a career like that too." (C) Cover Media
