Your grandfather is and will always be your hero, your inspiration. He fought in World War II, came home to Little Rock, Arkansas, and worked for 50 years as a mailman in the segregated south. Not once did he get a job promotion in five decades. But he kept working all the same.

Dein Großvater ist und wird immer dein Held sein, deine Inspiration. Er kämpfte im Zweiten Weltkrieg, kam nach Little Rock, Arkansas, nach Hause und arbeitete 50 Jahre als Postbeamter im abgeschiedenen Süden. Nicht einmal in fünf Jahrzehnten wurde er beruflich befördert. Aber er arbeitete trotzdem weiter.

My father had been in the German Diplomatic Service, and although he had been in the United States since World War II and out of diplomacy, it was something that was very much talked about in the family. So when I went to college, it was always my intention to try to get into the Foreign Service.

I initially got a job at Disneyland through a friend who was working there. He said, 'You would make a great princess there,' and that I should audition. So I just went on a whim to audition, and I wound up getting a job as Belle, from 'Beauty and the Beast,' at Disneyland. I did that for about a year and a half.
