She Knows Lily Was Her Big Break
When she spoke to Esquire, Milana shared that she was aware that most people knew her from her commercials and YouTube videos. She said, “Usually my AT&T commercials or my YouTube videos. Sometimes they’ll get introduced to me from the commercials, and they’ll go look me up and find my YouTube videos. Or they’ve been a fan for a while, and they’re really supportive of the commercials.”

But what did she have to say about her character in This Is Us? Milana revealed, “Sloane is [really good at] making her dreams come true. Sure, she’s hit some road bumps and let her impulses distract her, but we’ve all been there. The Christmas/Hanukkah episode meant a lot to me for so many reasons. When I was a kid, I learned about Passover from a cartoon called Rugrats, and it really stuck with me. I was excited to potentially teach people the story of Hanukkah. I’ve actually had a teacher tweet at me saying she’s using the scene in her classroom.”
