How did your involvement with the Fashion One Network’s reality series, Fashion Dolls come about?

You’re very multitalented as an actress, journalist, publicist, producer, and more. How do you balance your personal life and career?
Jessica Ross: I’m working on it!! Some things I do are exercise most days, get together with friends and family when possible, allow one day or at least a half-day every week to clear my mind and decompress.
What has your journey been like so far creating your own reality show, “Hollywood Unexpected”?
Jessica Ross: I’m discovering so much about myself. My strengths, my fears, learning a multitude of new things — editing, producing, directing, putting it all together to create the episodes. Thankful for the dedication and help from the Iseli family, Ronnie Carol, and the many other people involved!
When you first set out to pursue your career path, what impact did you intend to make?

Who are some public figures that have inspired you along the way?
Jessica Ross: There have been many public figures that have inspired me at a moment in time. Too many names to share. Any celebrity that is involved with charity work and giving back to others is a total inspiration to me.
What are some obstacles that you have overcome in the entertainment industry that made you the woman that you are today?
Jessica Ross: One of the obstacles I’ve had to overcome is getting to grips with the uncertainty of the business with all of its peaks and valleys.
