Ellary's character of Liza in Hidden Palms was originally supposed to be a boy who barely spoke, but because the casting directer has such a connection with her they completely changed that character and created Liza.
Ellary: (On her feelings towards why she thinks Hidden Palms will be a success) It was ultimately the writing that made it so amazing, that's what makes any show amazing to me, it's the writing.
Ellary: 10 years from now I can see myself continuing my pursuit for success and happiness. Right now I am happy in the moment, and I hope 10 years from now that has not changed. That is all I can ask for.
Ellary: I just love the small-town feeling. I love that I get to go off and have these thrilling adventures, then come home to a place where every other person isn't in the movie business. It's a nice dose of reality for me.
