Tia Carrere never expected to have a 41-year acting career. Now starring as Mrs. Kekoa in the live-action Lilo & Stitch (after voicing Nani in the animated versions), the Wayne's World actress, 58, looks back on her Hollywood journey.

Carrere voiced Nani in 2002's animated Lilo & Stitch.
How did you get into acting?
I was discovered at a Waikiki grocery store at 17 when the parents of a movie producer approached me. They said, “Darling, you're gorgeous. You should be the lead in our son's movie [Aloha Summer].” That changed my life, which was good, because I couldn't afford college, and my grades weren't good enough for a scholarship.
