But the maturity that comes from working at a young age was and balanced by her close family life and the private Christian schools she attended.Comments GH casting director Mark Teschner,"She is that unique combination of girl-woman,which comes along very rarely. It’s the innocence
with the knowingness that makes her an incredible package. And with the vulnerability she brings to her work, her beauty transcends has looks." Because of her fresh, wide-eyed innocence,
Herbst is able to play a role that it a tad younger than she really is with a true appreciation for the dichotomy of devilishness and naïveté that are the 15-year-old Liz. These and other qualities, evident in her naturally beautiful face, tell a story without her ever having to utter a word.
