An accidental meeting in the store, where Susan went shopping with her parents, completely changed her life. The girl was noticed by representatives of a modeling agency who were engaged in the selection of young models for fashion catalogs and magazines. Susan was offered to take part in the competition, she decided to try.
Having successfully passed the selection, Susan signed a contract with a well-known advertising company. And already at the age of thirteen she began to work as a model.

At first, she was supposed to star in only one episode, but the director liked the young actress’s game so much that her appearance on the screen was extended for several more episodes. As a result, Susan starred in the project for a year, and then entered the main cast of the series.
Having already started working on television, Susan decided to immerse herself in the study of the profession and began to take acting lessons. She was absolutely sure that her future life would be devoted to cinema.
Film career

There, Susan received one of the central roles, which she was invited to play the famous Aaron Spelling. The project did not last long. Eight episodes were shot that did not arouse spectator interest, and the series was closed.
