What did you want to be when you “grew up”?  Did you always want to be an actor/actress?

Kellie Martin (KM):  I wanted to be Nancy Drew who becomes an undercover homicide detective.

What are some of your guilty pleasures?  

KM: Peanut butter on dark chocolate, lots of wine, and homemade bread.

 

 
What’s your “get out of the house in hurry” makeup routine?  

KM: Mascara, lip gloss and a braid.

 

 
Do you ever have to deal with negative feedback from “fans”?  Maybe some Army Wives who don’t appreciate your portrayal (or other characters) on the show?  

KM: I have a feeling my storyline will be in for a bit of that.  I'm ready for it.
 

 

Would you/did you ever consider a life in the military?  How would you do as a true “Army Spouse”?

KM: Totally depends on the situation.

Have you ever started your own business?  If not, would you like to?  What would it be?ws/americas-mo

KM: Yep. I own a kids' toy and decor webstore called ROMP (rompstore.com).  I'm pretty inspired by my own kid and love to share the safe and beautiful toys she loves with the rest of the parents out there.
