MARLA SOKOLOFF: The Actress From The Practice Gets Ready For A Big Night Out
BY: Maria Speidel
In 19-year-old Marla Sokoloff's profession hot is good. But when you've got a regular gig on a TV series (she plays Lucy Hatcher on ABC's The Practice) and a fledging movie career (Whatever It Takes), burnout aways alooms. How can Sokoloff be true to her career and still have fun hitting the premieres with her boyfriend, James Franco (a star of the late, lamemented NBC sitcom Freaks and Geeks)?
The answer: Make like a cell phone and recharge those batteries.
She starts by turning her San Fernando Valley apartment into a spalike retreat - setting the mood with candles, incense, and soothing music (Joni Mitchell is a favorite). Then she runs a bath, soaks awhile and gives herself a pedicure. By the time her nails dry, she has gotten her second wind. "When I work all day sometimes I don't feel like going out at night," says Sokoloff. "But if I take the time to treat myself right, I feel energized"
