Lake City starlet Karley Scott Collins will be in California next week attending the premiere of her new movie, “The Hottie and the Nottie.”
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton and sees Collins portray the younger version of Hilton’s character in the film, will be released in theaters on Feb. 8.
The red carpet premiere will take place on Tuesday and will be Collins’ first movie premiere.
“I feel absolutely ecstatic,” Collins said.
“The Hottie and the Nottie” sees a young man, Nate, returning home to L.A. to find the girl he has been in love with since his childhood (the hottie, portrayed by Collins and Hilton) but must first figure out what to do with her not-so-hot best friend (the nottie, Christine Lakin).
Of course, when Nate gives the “nottie” a makeover and her real beauty begins to emerge, he begins to have feelings for her.
This is Collins’ first feature film. She has previously appeared on major network television shows, including CBS’ short-lived series “The Class” in 2006 and had a guest role on ABC’s “Private Practice” last year.
However, Collins resume is quickly growing. She can also be seen in two horror films that are scheduled to be released later this year — “Pulse 2” and “The Amusement.”
“I like ‘Pulse’ a lot,” Collins said. “The movie deals with these phantom things that try to take over the world. Whenever they get a hold of someone, they have these things called tendrils and they turn the person into a phantom. Whoever they touch, they turn into a phantom.
“My mom is in the movie and turns into a phantom,” she said.
Collins, 8, first appeared in commercials before making her television debut in 2006. She said acting is definitely something that could turn into a career.
“I feel like I want to do it until I die,” Collins said.
Karley’s mother, Nena, said that Karley has her parents’ full support.
“We don’t have a problem with it,” Nena said. “She makes straight A’s in school and she absolutely loves doing this.
“She’s the same little girl (she was before all of this) and there’s nothing that has changed about her at all.”
