What was life like on set as child actor, where she starred along with and hung out with Keanu Reeves, Joaquin Phoenix, and River Phoenix, among others? Did she have a childhood crush on one of them? Yes! Guess which one...or two! What was life like as a child in Hollywood? Her answer might surprise you! Plus, winning ‘The Voice’- how it changed or didn’t change her life! Alisan is very vocal about how ‘The Voice’ treats its winners. Then, life now making music, especially with her friend Adam Lambert. And, of course- life at home with her husband. It’s so ‘Not So Hollywood.’ Enjoy! This is our last episode of Season One! Thank you for listening- and watching over on Youtube! Season Two coming soon!
