Celebrity Travel: Go away with Alanna Ubach
After starring opposite Sydney Sweeney in “Euphoria” and Kaley Cuoco in “The Flight Attendant,” Alanna Ubach will next be seen in Seth MacFarlane’s Peacock comedy series, “Ted.”
“I play Susan Bennett, [who is] Max Burkholder's mom, Giorgia Whigham's aunt, and Scott Grimes' wife,’” Ubach said. “She’s all heart, kooky and finds joy in everything. Susan is someone I'd love to bake holiday pies with. We filmed ‘Ted’ on the Universal Studios lot in Los Angeles – about a stone's throw away from my all-time favorite theme park ride, Jaws! I kept pinching myself every time I'd hear screams and laughter coming from the trams.”
A resident of L.A., the actress stays in touch with fans on Instagram (@AlannaUbach).
Q: Do you enjoy filming on set?
A: Filming on set is comforting, knowing that I'll be heading home in time for dinner with my family. I also love sleeping in my own bed. Most jobs send me out of town. I never leave without packing my pillow.
Q: What was it like growing up in a multicultural household?
A: My father had a thick Puerto Rican accent. He moved to Los Angeles when he was 19. My mother, on the other hand, did not have an accent because she moved to Los Angeles from Mexico when she was three. My mother and father only spoke Spanish when they didn't want me to know what they were talking about. I picked up my father's Puerto Rican accent and my mother's go-to dance moves. We also spent every New Year's in San Juan when I was a child. I grew up with the best of both Latin worlds.
Q: Do you have any upcoming trips planned?
A: I'm about to attain my Spanish citizenship. My grandfather was born and raised in Malaga, Spain. I hope to live and work there some day. Ancestry.com has been helpful in finding all of the birth, marriage and death certificates needed to make it happen.
Q: What work destination would you like to return to for a personal trip?
