SARA PAXTON

You star in “Greetings from Tucson.” Can you tell me a little about the show?
“Greetings from Tucson” is about a half Irish/half Mexican family. I am half Mexican actually, in real life. My mother is from Mexico and I speak a little bit of Spanish. I used to speak a whole lot but you know, you kind of forget over the years. People don't usually think that but I am half Mexican.

[In “Greetings from Tucson,”] the dad is Mexican and the mom is Irish. The main character is 'David Tiant' (Pablo Santos). It's about his life and the every-day things that we go through. It's just a different kind of family. I am his girlfriend/best friend/next door neighbor.

The show is on Friday nights on the WB.

What would you say to people who haven't seen the show, to convince them to tune in on Friday nights?
It's hilarious whether you are Hispanic or not. I get a lot of it because of my family. You can really relate to it because it is so every-day. In one episode, the boy is learning how to drive and I think everyone has gone through that. It's just funny and it's a different kind of family so it makes it more interesting.

Do you find a lot of the experiences that are shown on the series are actually things you've experienced?
I can truly relate - being half Mexican.
