Yes, my daughter was going for the part of Beth, and actually had her initial audition and then two call backs. We were even told to pack our bags for the last audition because they were pretty sure she had the part and she would need to get started right away and would film for 8 weeks. As it stands when we arrived there were about 8 other little girls there. My daughter is only 5 with brown hair and the other two little girls looked a lot older and they had blonde hair. Of course we were a little disappointed, but both myself and my daughter were happy for the other little girls. We are very proud that our daughter made it that far out of all the kids that auditioned.

I only know the first names of the girls who got the parts - Chelsea and Gabrielle; they were very cute, and the dirctor himself came out and said that the choice was no reflection on anyone's acting ability, but it was more of a match up look with the actors playing the parents. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie when it comes out.

How old are the daughters supposed to be in the movie, Walker? For some odd reason I thought they would be really young children! Guess I was wrong!

The movie filmed near where I live and we saw the actresses who play the children. We were at the body double auditions. The younger girl is around 7 and the older girl is 12 or 13.
