Carly feels that if she becomes famous because of her lead role in Alice, I Think, she'll be able to handle it, because her parents have prepared her for it.
Like many other child actors, Carly worked steadily until she was about 12 years old, then had a dry spell. Since her sister, Britt, was also acting and getting jobs at this time, it caused some sibling rivalry.
(On her reaction when she was told she had the role of Alice, in Alice, I Think)Carly: I just about drove off the road, I was so excited. I was just thrilled.
(On how she feels about having her mother on set with her)Carly: It's so nice to have somebody there that's always on your side, that's going to support you.
