Trendy is temporary, classic is forever... That's what she did with the one-act, two-character play she penned, called Lies and Ashes. /- "My play is about a mother who smokes and a girl who's 5 1/2 and she goes to school and her name's Ashley," explains Eisenberg. "And then the mother smokes and the little girl keeps telling her that it's bad for her and she should stop. But [the mother] doesn't stop and she lies and she says that she did stop. But then, the girl comes home and [her mother is] smoking, and [the girl] says, 'Why are you doing it?' And then she says, 'Well you do it, so why can't I?' And then the mother says, 'OK, no more lies,' and [the girl] says, `No more ashes,' and then we hug and that's the end." When Eisenberg isn't performing, she likes to play with friends and go to the park and playground. Her role in Paulie also helped Eisenberg secure a spot in the CBS television movie "Nicholas' Gift," with Jamie Lee Curtis and Alan Bates. In the Independent Film Channel commercials, Eisenberg, as 6-year-old Christie, directs Janeane Garofalo and takes meetings with Matt Damon and Edward Norton. The spots are designed to parody the independent film world. According to a piece in Entertain- ment Weekly, the young actress was awed by the actors. After meeting Damon, she remarked, "I told my mom, if he was my age and my height, I'd marry him." Eisenberg lives in East Brunswick, N.J., with her parents, Amy and Barry; sister Kerry, 17; brother Jesse, 14; a cat and a dog. The 5-year-old also has written some songs.
