00:00 ♪ The best thing about being a woman ♪
00:03 Music will always be my heart and my soul,
00:06 but I think there's definitely a part of me
00:08 that likes to act.
00:11 A 20-year-old Brittany made her acting debut
00:13 in the 2002 cult classic,
00:15 which also stars Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning.
00:18 The three played childhood besties who grew apart,
00:21 but rekindled their bond on a cross-country road trip.
00:24 It looked like you and the girls got on really, really well.
00:26 Did you off when the filming stopped as well?
00:30 Oh gosh, yes.
00:31 I mean, honestly, a lot of those scenes,
00:34 we weren't even acting, they were just rolling the camera,
00:37 and it was really real.
00:38 ♪ I love rock and roll ♪
00:40 Brittany was a natural from the beginning.
00:44 It was such a beautiful experience.
00:47 The coming-of-age film, written by Shonda Rhimes,
00:49 was actually Britt's idea,
00:51 inspired by her close hometown friendships.
00:54 It was just at the time in my career
00:55 where I wanted to try something different,
00:57 and I came up with the whole concept of "Crossroads,"
01:00 and we got a writer to come in and elaborate on the script,
01:03 and then, you know, we had a movie.
01:05 I didn't know you could come up with your own idea
01:08 for a movie and everything,
01:10 so for it to be my idea and everything,
01:12 it's like my little project.
01:14 It feels very cool and special.
01:16 Can I help you?
01:17 It's me, Mama.
01:18 Lucy.
01:19 It was really organic for her.
01:21 I think that's why she did it,
01:22 because the movie makes sense.
01:24 I'm a proud boyfriend.
01:25 It's very cool.
01:26 JT and Brittany were hand-in-hand
01:29 at both her LA and New York red carpets,
01:31 but the couple actually split a month later.
01:33 Meanwhile, little sis Jamie Lynn,
01:35 who plays a young Lucy in the film,
01:36 was Brittany's shadow during the press tour,
01:38 and mom Lynn was beaming with pride.
01:41 The last couple of years, I'm ready.
01:43 I don't know what to expect now.
01:45 I don't know how she can get much bigger.
