Alexa Vega (Getty Images) Alexa Vega is a 23-year-old actress best known for her roles in
Spy Kids and
From Prada to Nada. Now, however, she's making headlines for starring in the upcoming Lifetime movie,
The Pregnancy Project.
Vega plays Gaby Rodriguez in the TV movie based on the true story of Gaby's push to make her community and high school confront the prejudices about teen pregnancy. Rodriguez, who decided to make stereotyping her senior project, told her family and boyfriend she was pregnant at the age of 18 as part of the project. Then, she recorded reactions and her feelings through the course of her "pregnancy" for the experiment, for better and for worse.
Vega tackles the challenging role in the new flick, which premieres January 28 on Lifetime. So, for the next couple of weeks, expect to see the actress in the news a lot more. She was on Good Day LA last week, and we're sure the press won't stop there!
