Monique Green hit the road to Hollywood early.
At just five years old, she joined her mother, then an aspiring actress and model, on a drive from Miami to Los Angeles. She remembers them singing in the car and at one point ducking, sweaters on their heads, from a swarm of locusts at a gas station in Texas.
Growing up in L.A., Green visited her mom — then known as Gwendolyn Osborne — on the sets of shows including
Whose Line Is It Anyway? and
The Price Is Right. These days, her mother's familiarity with the business helps keep Green centered as she navigates it herself.
