While on the silver screen, Bernstein performed in Poltergeist II and For Keeps. "It was an honor playing JoBeth Williams as a little girl. She is very pretty," Bernstein said of the Poltergeist II star. "They put soft curls in my hair, and I had to sleep in them for days." She also said it was great working with Molly Ringwald in For Keeps. "Molly had the same studio teacher then as I have now on the set of 'The People Next Door."' Acting with Michael J. Fox, Michael Landon, the cast of "The Golden Girls," Florence Henderson and Ra- quel Welch was exciting for Bernstein. But she admitted, "I would love to work with Gene Kelly; he's my idol. I just adore him." Some of her commercial credits include Raisinettes, Oreo and McDonalds. "I'm a sweet child," she jokingly said, referring to all the junk food commercials in which she's appeared. Barbie Doll, Pacific Bell and Country Time Lemonade are a few of her other commercials. "I went to New Jersey to film the Country Time commer- cial. We went out to the country there, and I got stung by a lot of bees. It wasn't a pleasant experi- ence." In her spare time, Berns- tein enjoys listening to music and writing scripts. "I'm in the middle of writing a script right now for our show. After I'm done with it, I'm going to submit it to the producers to see if they like it and what they can do with it." Bernstein also likes "hanging out" with her friends. "Our parents drop us off at the mall; we go skating and like having slumber parties." Two weeks ago was the sixth grader's first day of "I would love to work with Gene Kelly; he's my idol. I just adore him." school at Portola Junior High, a public school in the San Fernando Valley. "I couldn't go to each class because I kept getting stopped by my friends and other students, asking, 'Oh, are you the girl on televi- sion?' and stuff like that." Bernstein's mother, Pam, is her theatrical manager. She also has a brother, 13- year-old Robert, who, unlike his sister, has no interest in acting, but is heavily into video games and sports. A typical day on the set for Bernstein begins at the crack of dawn. "I'll come to the set in the morning and get a couple hours of school in and then rehearse. After a few hours, I'll go to lunch and come back to rehearse some more. The producers then will come in, and we'll have a run through. I'm on the set for about 91/2 hours.
