Lilly From The Princess Diaries Is Gorgeous In Real Life

While she grew up in a Catholic household, Heather Matarazzo struggled with her faith after coming to terms with her sexuality. "For years I struggled with the fear that maybe [religious education teachers] were right and that I was going to go to hell," she wrote in a HuffPost article. "From that stemmed a lot of dates I forced myself to go on with boys, who, while attractive enough, didn't pique my interest at all."

Matarazzo began exploring different faiths and read "books that spoke of a very different God, Universe, Divine Intelligence, Goddess, etc." It was an awakening for the actress, who now follows her own brand of spirituality. "I got to recognize that I could have my own relationship and experience, that I didn't need to believe as my parents did," she wrote. "I also found out that at least for me, there isn't any 'right way' to God, Universe, what have you. It's what's right for me."
