I think overall, I was good at doing my job, and just keeping it together. And treating the Jacksons like people… as that is exactly what they are.
But this was the first time I can remember ever working on something where I was like a true super-fan.
So, some of the moments that were so crazy for me:
- Katherine Jackson coming by for dinner. (Michael Jacksons mom?!!?)
- Prince Jackson accidentally bumping into me. I was sitting at the kitchen table. He was playing with his cousins. When he bumped into me, he was like “oh, sorry.” And I’m like “omg, of course no worries.” Then he goes, “I’m Prince, by the way.” And I said “nice to meet you. I’m Aurora.” But in my head, I’m like ‘duh!’ Haha
- The Jacksons talking about Michael. Anytime they reminisced about him being a loving, great family member, etc., I wanted to ask a MILLION follow-up questions. And I’m sure I could’ve asked some. But I didn’t want to impose.
I somehow did make it through the show without everybody being like “this weirdo?”
Surreal experience!
