Laura Marano is the young star of a new Disney series, Austin and Ally, which has been renewed for a second season. Laura says she has been singing and writing songs since she was very young. She says her songs when she was little were very long twenty minute songs about candy. Laura has also been acting since she was five, but she says her friends did not believe she was actress until the Austin and Ally series arrived on the Disney Channel. Laura also says she does not suffer from terrible stage fright like her character, Ally Dawson.
