Dinner for Vampire.““You tell her this show is about f—ing and sucking and if she’s gonna have a problem with that, she shouldn’t come in tomorrow,” her manager said after speaking to one of the show’s execs.The actress says she and her manager were speechless at this explanation.Even with the bluntness from the exec, Lenz writes, she was attracted to the show because it “felt different from most bubble-gum TV with subliminal agendas” in her memoir.“Grit didn’t scare me, and the ‘One Tree Hill’ pilot had grit,” she continued.During this time, Lenz said, she had turned down the opportunity to star in “What I Like About You,” which went to then-teenager Amanda Bynes.Lenz, who was raised in an Evangelical Christian household, said she was worried that portraying a woman living with her boyfriend would “normalize ‘living in sin’ for young girls.”Lenz later wrote she felt comfortable with the “awkward girl next door” character, whom she viewed as the “most wholesome” member of the main cast.“I didn’t feel too at risk of being objectified,” Lenz wrote. “I believed in this show and its ability to send meaningful, uplifting messages to the audience.” Her character would go on to get pregnant, engaged and live with Nathan Scott (James Lafferty) while she was in high school.
