Lucy, the Bionic Woman

Lucy Hale may not have portrayed the bionic woman herself, in the TV Show, but she sure is close to one in reality; at least in terms of her willpower. The fact that Lucy, still in her teens, has come a long way from being a singer to becoming an actor proves her determination in working towards her goal.

In NBC’s Bionic Woman, Lucy Hale plays Becca Sommers, the sister of the protagonist. Becca, a budding hacker helps her sister Jaime to reconnect with their parents who have neglected them due to their previous activities involving activism and saving the world.

Lucy, who started out as a singer in American Juniors 2003, ventured into acting after the band dissolved. She did guest roles in TV shows such as Drake & Josh, The O.C., and How I Met Your Mother. Her big break came with Bionic Woman in which she plays a significant role in the narrative. And that’s not all. Lucy Hale is all set for her big screen release ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2’, in which she plays Effie, Lena’s sister. With this and her new show ‘Privileged’ coming up, Lucy is sure to prove that she’s a woman of strength and substance; a bionic woman indeed!

Teaching Rich Kids

Rich kids are very hard to bring under your thumb. Be it a parent or a tutor, somewhere rich kids leave them behind. Their attitudes are very different from that of other kids their age. They come about as more world-wise, sophisticated and experienced beyond their age. Maybe it’s the money that makes them think that they are better than the rest of the world. Maybe it’s the exposure to high flying things that comprises of their parents’ lifestyle.

The standoffish and better than thou attitude that they treat everybody with right from the hired help to kids their age who are not as privileged as them is sometimes funny and at most times nerve-racking. These kids need to be handled very gently to be able to bring them around to face the realities of life and to make nice and down to earth human beings out of them.

A TV show that deals with the sense and sensibilities of handling rich kids is ‘Privileged’. It has Joanna Garcia, Ashley Newbrough and Lucy Hale in the lead. This is one show to look out for.
