Tuning In A conversation with Nicholle Tom uiijmiii IJLllH I IWg 1 r' fl Nicholle's sister, Heather Tom, starred for years as Victoria on the CBS soap "The Young and The Restless" and now stars as Kelly on ABC's "One Life to Live." Their brother, David, also appeared on "They're both living in New York now," Nicholle Tom says. "They like doing theater, and there are a lot of opportunities (for that) in New York that don't exist anywhere else. And I'd love to join them at some point. I also want to do more stage work. You can do a lot of different things on film that will help you grow as an actor make her feel special her own mother is doing all these terrible things to her mind and to her sense of self-worth.

And unless she can find the answer to why Maylene does these things, she will always wonder if, maybe, Maylene is right that she is worthless." Maylene is shown as a selfish woman, putting her own needs ahead of those of her daughter. The problem is not that Maylene wants to live her own life," Tom says. "That's OK. After my parents were divorced, my mom made choices mat she felt were right for her and for the life she wanted for herself. But the difference is that her choices didn't replace her responsibilities as a mother to me, my sister and my brother.

Not so with Maylene. Her own needs came first" By Sally Stone King Features Syndicate, Inc. On Sunday, May 2, CBS is scheduled to air "The Book of based on the Oprah Winfrey Book Selection of the same name about a stormy relationship between a daughter who has been degraded for years by an oppressive mother, and how they find healing and reconciliation. The telefilm stars Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe award winner Christine Lahti as the mother, Maylene; Evan Jones as Ruby, a young man who comes into the daughter's life; and Nicholle Tom Princess Diaries," "The as Ruth, the daughter who learns how to rediscover her true worth. Nicholle Tom says, "Whatever else you might find in "The Book of underneath it all is a mother-daughter relationship that both Maylene (the mother) and Ruth (the daughter) have to rediscover if they have any hope of putting a painful past behind them and starting all over again." Tom says it's like a journey where you leave one place where you've known nothing but pain, and try to find another place where you'll be happy.

"But unless you really understand why you were unhappy in the first place," Tom says, "you can't really get away from that part of your life; it will follow you in some way." But we know why Ruth is unhappy: She's being emotionally abused by her mother. "That's all true," Tom says. "But Ruth needs to know why this has happened to her, otherwise she'll never understand why the one person who should love her and encourage her and which is one reason I wanted to dol 'The Book of since it was so dif ferent from anything else I'd done. Bui theater is still the best place to learn more about your craft and more about Nicholle Tom yourself as an actor."
