She first stepped on a stage two years later, when she started taking dancing classes at the Margaret Pike School of Dance, Yonkers.Annette trained in ballet, tap and jazz for many years. She got her first starring role in a middle school production of Annie. Her mom would often take Annette and her older sister, Elizabeth, to Broadway shows matinees and although she caught the acting bug then, Annette only managed to take part in one more theater production in High School. By the age of 14, she had gotten a job with an orthodontist practice and was working after school every day. While studying for "her back up plan", dental hygienist, Annette kept working on her acting skills.
