Taralyn and Bea both grew up in near poverty not far from each other.
However, Growing up poor may have it's own set of challenges, but when you have a best friend friend, macaroni and Cheese for dinner, and parents who don't care how loud you play the music, then it became a bit more manageable.
Also even as a beanpole kid, Bea was still a bit of a show off.
