The protagonist of the Lifetime movie Mommy’s Little Princess is career woman Juliana. She and her husband Greg (Jeff Teravainen) and Greg’s daughter Allie (Kelly Whyte) welcome 10-year-old Lizzy (Sarah Abbott) into their home. Juliana and Greg have adopted Lizzy after she’s spent the past eight years living with her drug-addicted mother. To help Lizzy find out more about herself — she never knew her father — Juliana buys Lizzy an online genetics test. When the results show Lizzy comes from German royalty, Lizzy proves she’s willing to do anything to claim her proverbial (maybe actual) crown.

Mom Juliana is portrayed by Alicia Leigh Willis. She is known for her roles on The Bay (Avery Garrett, see link above), The L Word (Cindi Annabelle Tucker), American Heiress (Elizabeth Wakefield), General Hospital (Courtney Matthews), and 7th Heaven (Corey Conway), among others. Fun fact: The two-time Emmy Award nominee’s real-life father, actor David E. Willis, played her dad on two episodes of 7th Heaven in 1999. Mommy’s Little Princess premiere on Lifetime on Sunday, March 17 at 8 pm. [More Lifetime movies streaming are always available.]
