"...I had to really put myself in Sarah's position, which was hard because it was someone close to her that was dying so it had to be a very strong emotion to be believable. We shot the scene more than one time ( to show different camera angles), each time I had to bring the same intensity of emotion..."

MetroTimes Article, early years

For 7-year-old Chloe Greenfield, other than easily shooting into national stardom, she enjoys chasing cats, "the color blue, but purple too" and climbing trees. Chloe and her mother Kim walked into an open casting after hearing about it on the radio.

Kim Greenfield: They were asking for a ragamuffin-looking little girl, who was blond-haired, blue-eyed and could possibly be Eminem's little sister.


[Not only does Chloe fit the description perfectly, 8 Mile casting director Molly Finn called her a natural and told her mom that they were sick of stage kids who were born and bred for film.]


Metro Times: Have you ever acted before?
Chloe Greenfield: Nothing! Well, me and my cousin pretend sometimes that weÕre gorillas. Hey, I'm just a kid.

Metro Times: What did they tell you to do?
Chloe Greenfield: Curtis would just ask me to like try to fake cry, but they had fake tears. So it was a big help.

Metro Times: Were you surprised at what they gave you to wear?
Chloe Greenfield: Yeah. I was expecting something ... better. They had this little purple shirt with flowers on it, and like long johns, with tennis shoes.

Metro Times: And you didnÕt like that?
Chloe Greenfield: No, because I'm used to putting on a pair of jeans ... and ... shoes that match.

Metro Times: Did they make you wear makeup?
Chloe Greenfield: Only if I had a scratch. I don't know why, because IÕm supposed to be a ragamuffin little girl.
Kim Greenfield: That was for continuity though. Her little cousin had grabbed her on the nose. Her teeth fell out too; they had to do a bridge down there [for continuity purposes]. That wasn't from her cousin; that was just from nature.

Metro Times: What was your favorite part?
Chloe Greenfield: Just the snack bar. One side was like chips, and one side was candy.

Metro Times: What about when it came to the acting?
Chloe Greenfield: It was a lot of fun. Like at the fight scene, they would be pretending to beat him up, but right after Curtis said, Òcut,Ó it was just like they were all giving each other noogies.

Metro Times: It seems at first you were concerned that it was going to be a rap video, but after reading the script and watching Curtis Hanson on the set, you knew you had nothing to worry about.
Kim Greenfield: The audience that watched L.A. Confidential, that watched Wonder Boys, is bound to be curious about his newest. I think he [Hanson] captured the real, real Detroit in all its glory, I mean, both sides ... as far as having a sense of humor about who we are, but still plugging away and doing the day-to-day that we have to do.

Metro Times: Chloe, are you concerned about people talking about your deep, dark secrets when you're famous?
Chloe Greenfield: OK, maybe when I was little I used to run around naked at the beach.

Metro Times: Do you think it's a coincidence that both your mom and your movie mom have the same first name?
Chloe Greenfield: Yeah, and that my two middle names [Linnea Ayla] make Chloe L.A. Greenfield.

Metro Times: YouÕre destined for the West Coast. So what does a girl who's already played EminemÕs white-trash little sister want to be for Halloween?
Chloe Greenfield: IÕm gonna be half-devil, half angel.
