'30 Rock' star Tina Fey has warned her daughters to avoid acting careers.
The 43-year-old actress has revealed that she will encourage her two girls - Alice, seven, and 22-month-old Penelope - to pursue a behind the scenes career if they want to follow in her footsteps in TV because she thinks writing is just as important as acting, reported Hello magazine.
"I once showed Alice a clip from the Broadway production of a 'Little Mermaid'. About five seconds in, she pointed to one of the actresses saying, 'I want to be her!' I was saying, 'Oh no honey, you don't want to be her, you want to be the person who writes the lines she says'," Fey said.
When asked what she tells her girls about her professional
life, Tina said, "That it's at least as interesting to be working behind the scenes as it is in front of them."
The 'Mean Girls' writer and star believes she has former United States governor Sarah Palin, who became a notorious figure in the 2008 presidential election, to thank for her success in Hollywood because they look so much alike.
Tina decided to perform skits as Palin on sketch show 'Saturday Night Live', which made her a household name.
