American Dreams with Vanessa Lengies

from And That's What You REALLY Missed · host iHeartPodcasts

Before Glee, there was American Dreams on NBC. Jenna and Vanessa Lengies, filling in for Kevin, are taking it back to the early 2000s to recap the pilot episode of the nostalgic TV series 'American Dreams,' starring Sugar Motta herself! Vanessa shares behind-the-scenes stories from her time on the show, from her audition experience at 15, to her relationship with her co-star and next-door neighbor, Brittany Snow, and a scene she wishes she could have said no to. Plus, the music, the huge guest stars, including the one who made her so nervous she hid under a blanket, and spending her off-hours at the under-21 hotspot where all the biggest celeb teens, like Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, were hanging out!!
