20 Questions with Bethany Joy Lenz


Hi Everyone
You may know her as Michelle from the Guiding Light. Others may know her better as the girl next door turned, mother, teacher and singer Haley James Scott from the popular CW teen show One Tree Hill. Do you really know the real person behind these characters? Let’s find out a little more about the inspiring and multi-talented Bethany Joy Lenz.

1.       What’s your idea of a perfect Sunday? Coffee & Sunday Paper, Farmer’s Market, nap, neighborhood walk to a local restaurant for dinner, evening movie at home by a fire.

2.       What’s your favourite thing to do with Maria? Too many to name :)

3.       What’s your must have items of clothes in your wardrobe? Super-soft white button up shirts, denim cutoffs

4.       What’s the best advice a person has ever given to you? Trust yourself

5.       What’s the best advice you could give a person about believing in themselves? Look at yourself in the mirror every days and tell yourself what you want to hear other people say about you.

6.       Any hidden talents? I’ve got a MacGuyver streak in me.  I can solve many physical puzzles using bizarre, unexpected objects, and do so quite frequently.

7.       If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? England

8.       Cocktails. Wine or Beer? Wine or Dirty Martini

9.       Eat in or Dine out? Both depending on the week

10.   Beach holiday or City break? Beach

11.   Do you like your own name?  I’m not crazy about Bethany.  I kind of sound like I live in a country club, don’t you think?

12.   What affect do you hope your music has on your fans? peace, inspiration

13.   What’s one thing you’re dying to do but haven’t yet? Raced through a field on horseback while wearing a big giant skirt.

14.   With whom is your dream duet? Billy Joel

15.   What’s your go to karaoke song? Crazy, Patsy Cline

16.   What’s your guilty pleasure snack? Frozen chocolate covered banana slices from Trader Joes

17.   If your house was burning down, other than your loved ones, what would be the next thing you would save? My computer and antique books

18.   If you could live a day in the life of someone else past or present who would it be and why? Nelson Mandela.  I think it would significantly change my life for the better to have that experience.  Or Stallone while he was shooting Rocky.  I think living inside that kind of drive and being able to let it out as a man does would feel really incredible.

19.   If you could star in one Broadway musical, which would you choose and why? I still have a hard time hearing the soundtrack to Beauty & the Beast knowing I turned down Belle on bway when it was offered to me.  One of my only regrets in life is that decision.  Other than that I think I’d sink my teeth into South Pacific.

20.   What’s your proudest accomplishment?  Raising my daughter as a single mom and failing every day and winning every day.  It’s a roller coaster but I’ve never been so proud of anything.  She’s an amazing kid.
