Jennifer Love Hewitt's daughter Autumn has achieved a significant milestone at the young age of 10, just like her mother did 35 years ago. This story showcases the journey of a family in the entertainment industry and the challenges and joys that come with it.

A Mother-Daughter Tale in the Heart of Hollywood

Early Beginnings and Family Support

When Autumn was just 10 years old, she earned her SAG card, a moment that brought back memories for Hewitt. Moving to Los Angeles with her late mom Pat at a young age, Hewitt discovered her love for entertaining. "From the very start, I knew that making people happy through entertainment was something special," she shares. Her mom, although perhaps not initially envisioning this path for her, allowed her to follow her dreams. After landing roles in commercials and on Disney Channel's Kids Incorporated, Hewitt's career took off.In 1995, she joined Fox's teen drama Party of Five as Sarah Reeves and two years later, cemented her status with the role of final girl Julie James in I Know What You Did Last Summer. This journey not only shaped Hewitt's career but also left a lasting impact on her daughter Autumn.

The Impact of Fame and Growing Up

As Hewitt's star rose in her teens and 20s, she faced a new aspect of life - being seen as a sex symbol. "I was so innocent back then. I had no idea about my sexuality, yet I was on the cover of Maxim. Looking back, it's a bit intense," she reflects. Now, as her three kids grow up, she is happy to be a role model for them along with her husband Brian."We've been together for almost 13 years, which feels like an eternity in Hollywood," Hewitt jokes. She is proud to be able to give her children all the advice she has gained through the years.

Current Family Life and Future Dreams

Autumn's success at a young age has given her big dreams of being a star on a Disney show. Hewitt, with some trepidation, watches her daughter's journey. "She's a happy, secure kid, and I want her to stay that way. But she has these dreams, and she's a great manifester. I might just have to step back like my mom did," she says.Jennifer Love Hewitt's story is a reminder of the power of family and the influence of one's past on the future. As she continues to navigate the entertainment world, she is creating memories that will last a lifetime.For more on Jennifer Love Hewitt, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE or subscribe here.
