With no previous modeling experience, Madelyn earned nine jobs with catalogs, department and toy stores and a magazine, and spent a dizzying but delightful eight weeks in New York. The rising fifth-grader at Pinewood Preparatory School was dressed up, made up, photographed and filmed for modeling assignments that took her and her mom, Goose Creek real estate agent Pam Cline, to New York City and the Hamptons in the upstate.

Mother and daughter had time for fun together and saw the Statue of Liberty, visited Rockefeller Center and trekked to the top of the Empire State Building.

The jobs Madelyn took included shoots for Toys R Us, T-Mobile Verizon, Elidel pharmaceuticals, Hatkoff department stores of Europe and Parent & Child Magazine.

At the audition, Madelyn and more than 20 other hopefuls walked a runway and were asked to read a commercial prepared for them, or one that they made up.

"I was too nervous to talk through the microphone," Madelyn recalled "Halfway down the runway I was sweating and could feel my feet tingling. I was so nervous, but I liked the feeling when I was up there."

To prepare for her future, Madelyn plans to take some ballet and other dance classes and voice lessons. "I want to improve my projection in front of crowds," she said.

"We are really supportive of her commitment to her goals," Pam said. She added that Madelyn also has made a commitment to keep her school grades up.
