Some might say I was born into royalty, that I was a "princess." I wasn't born into true nobility, just into Hollywood Nobility. I was born as the only child of the famous acting duo of Mrs. Maria Alexander and Mr. Avery Cox.

If you wanted your movie to be a blockbuster success, you got Avery Cox. Time Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" for three years straight. Described by the magazine as a "Modern Greek God," his tall muscular frame swept back blonde hair and blue eyes were what he was known for. He was the actor all the women swooned over, and all of the guys wanted to be. He was frequently shirtless in promotional pictures to show off his perfect physique. If it involved shooting guns, fighting, or superpowers, he had done them all. Despite his rough and tumble exterior, he was a kind and caring man, with never an ill word for anyone.

If you wanted your movie to be an Oscar Contender, you got Maria Alexander. Classically trained at Julliard, Maria was already a well-established star on Broadway before transitioning to the screen. She was the quintessential leading lady, with beauty and grace. Her delicate, slender frame, her pale face framed by her fiery red hair, and green eyes made her look like the girl next door or the out-of-this-world unobtainable beauty. She took each role very seriously, studying the mannerisms and cultural idiosyncrasies of the character. She had won three Best Actress Oscars and been nominated for seven total. She was widely regarded as the finest living actress, and possibly one of the best of all time.

I was on the big screen from the day I was born, that's not hyperbole, I was born on screen for one of my Mother's Roles. When people say she is a Method Actor, this is what they mean. She never broke character throughout twenty hard hours of labor. The Doctors and Nurses all signed NDAs beforehand and signed agreements agreeing to appear on film. It was shot tastefully, no close-ups made the final edit, those were saved for my parents. I was born on the 29th of February 2004 on the set of "Mother of the Depths."

I was born at a healthy 6lbs 8oz, and given the name Julie Evangeline Alexander-Cox. My Mother has told me that once I was born, she held me in her arms long after the director yelled cut, but as I have no memory of that time and no footage exists, I can neither confirm nor deny this account. If you were to watch any of her interviews or look at her press junkets, you would assume she held me all the time.

I was constantly in her arms for those first nine months, but once the fervor of promotion for "Mother of the Depths" came to an end she decided she needed to spend some time with me at home. For the next fifteen months, she spent time at home bonding with me. Not long after my second birthday, Hollywood called and she was back to work and in and out of my life from then on. My parents had hired a Nanny, named Ann when I was born. At the start she had been there to assist my mother, and look after me if my Mother was on set or doing an interview. Now that my mother was fully returning to acting, I was in her care full-time.
