It was then, as Britney was competing, that she traveled down to Atlanta for an audition.

She was a finalist, but eventually disqualified because of her age. However, she was seen by a producer on the Disney Channel's "Mickey Mouse Club," who, enchanted by the young girl's talent, suggested that her mom fly to NYC and get the little dynamo an agent!

Britney spent the next three summers of her life in New York City. She studied at the prestigious Off-Broadway Dance Center and at the Professional Performing Arts School. During this time in her life, Britney's face became familiar to the public, even if her name wasn't. She appeared in several national commercials. She also was a part of some Off-Broadway productions including 1991's Ruthless, based on the 1956 thriller The Bad Seed. Britney says she enjoyed playing an evil child...that it was a lot of fun!

When Britney turned 11, she was finally old enough to don a pair of ears and become part of the "Mickey Mouse Club.

She was part of the club for the next two years; singing, dancing and acting with the troupe on the popular TV Show. After the program folded, Britney returned to her hometown to go to school for a year like any high school freshman. But she quickly tired of that, and missed traveling and performing.
