Dropping Out Of High School
She is a bright girl, so you might be surprised to hear that she was a high school dropout. But why? She answered, “I wanted to be an artist. I loved painting, photo-editing, and graphic design. Like at a lot of public schools, the arts program was limited, but my local community college had amazing teachers with a boatload of creative courses. I didn’t like high school, I wanted more diversity, flexibility, and freedom. I got in trouble for talking, disagreeing with teachers, and cheating on tests pretty regularly. But the strongest driving force was probably that my boyfriend at the time had dropped out and I thought he was the smartest, coolest, hottest and best person in the world. So the most real answer is a boy.”
How She Landed The Role Of Lily
In an interview, Milana got to talk about the way she snagged the role of Lily in the AT&T commercial. “Just your old run-of-the-mill audition. Nobody had any plans of it being a campaign. We shot the first one in November of 2013, and it started airing in December. When I was asked to come back to shoot more, I assumed it was my last time every time… but always hoped it wasn’t,” she explained.
