SISTER ACT
■ Tom directed B&B co-stars Alley Mills (Pam) and Aaron D. Spears (Justin), along with her real-life sister, Nicholle Tom (THE NANNY), in a pilot for BLINK, a digital series. “This was a project that we developed together; Nicholle wrote it and I consulted on it, so it was something we were producing together,” she explains of working with her sis. “We are siblings and so we absolutely argue, but we were very much on the same page as far as the vision for what we wanted and how we wanted it to go. I wanted to make sure our roles were really defined before we started, and we had to remind each other of that a couple of times [laughs] but overall, it wasn’t a hard shoot — although I got to the end of the first day and I was like, ‘What have I done?’ But ultimately, it all came together.”
