Kids

Star Babies

Although they only arrived into the world on June 14, Kayla and Maia Dennis have already landed their first job!  The adorable twins will be featured in the new ABC TV series Lucky 7 which debuts on Sept. 24.

I caught up with Kayla and Maia's proud mother Heather, to meet the girls for the first time and get the inside scoop about their TV gig.  Heather saw an ad where twins were required to play on the upcoming TV series and was thrilled to discover the position had not yet been filled and that her precious newborns got the part.

Although they're twins, Kayla and Maia will share the role as the baby on Lucky 7. Strict rules are in place limiting the amount of time infants are allowed to be on camera. Twins are often used to work within these standards, switching babies when one has done their maximum allotted time or if one is fusing or crying when they should be acting.

Lucky 7 is produced by Steven Spielberg and Heather and happy hubby Rodney saw him on set during the twins first shoot. The series revolves around the lives of 7 friends who jointly purchase a lottery ticket, which ends up being the big winner. What follows is the story of how their new found fortune changes the lucky friends lives.

Filming is in Toronto and the young stars get their own trailer, while mom and dad (and whoever joins them to assist with the twins) get a fully catered meal.  Heather has asked me if I would like to act as 'stage mom' for a shoot and I think it would be a blast and have been added to the list of wannabees.

Just think someday Kayla and Maia could be the next Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and we can say we knew them when they were just babies, literally cutting their teeth in the business.....LOL.

It was a delight to visit with you Heather, say hi to Rodney before his pre-work nap, meet the twins and see how their older siblings Kade and Alina continue to grow.

The dynamics of our relationship may have changed within the past few months and I guess that means I'm no longer your kid's "Auntie Kenny", but it is nice to know that the title of friend will remain forever.
