Sister Act

Girls' Life, Feb, 2001

Get ready to be Swept Away by sisters Jaime, 20, and Amanda Rich, 16. They've already made a mark in their home state of Florida with their weekend morning program The Whatever Show for 'tweens 8 to 14. Their little sis Brittany, 10, provided the inspiration, and they started airing contests, interviews with boy bands, movie reviews and celebrity makeovers for Florida's BRET channel.

"We especially have fun with the makeovers--turning teens into Christina Aguilera and Ricky Martin," says Jaime. She and Amanda hope a major network will sign their show next season. And besides their TV gig, the girls have a band! Swept Away has recorded its first demo CD. They started out singing Spice Girls songs at birthday parties, which led to appearances on Jenny Jones and Disney Channel's 2 Hour Tour. Soon after, they took off for a radio tour. So, can the sisters pick between TV and music? "We can do both!" they insist. Now, that's entertainment.
