As a child growing up near film and television studios in Los Angeles, Charlene Tilton dreamed of becoming an actress. When she was a teenager, her dream came true when she was cast as Lucy Ewing on the primetime soap opera Dallas. "Every day when I drove through the gates of MGM Studios ... I would say, 'Thank you, God,'" she says. "Every single day."

To this day, Charlene says she is appreciative of every opportunity that comes her way, including a recent guest-starring role on the ABC sitcom The Middle. "I don't take it for granted because I wanted it so bad growing up," she says. "I'm really lucky."

Watch as Charlene shares more about gratitude.
