Why This Movie Hits Close to Home for Arianne
For Arianne, this movie isn’t just about acting; it’s personal. She shared her deep concerns about the dangers lurking in the online world, especially for young people. “The Internet today moves so fast,” she said passionately. “I’m constantly checking on my daughter to make sure she’s staying safe online. Even if I step away for a short while, I want to ensure she hasn’t switched to something inappropriate. As parents, we have to be vigilant.”

Arianne shared a heartwarming story about her own upbringing that resonates with her role in "Web Cam Girls." She recalled, “When I graduated high school, I moved to Paris after winning a modeling contest. Before I left, my mom gave me a serious talk about the real world. She warned me about the dangers and how I needed to protect myself. It scared me, but she was right. That conversation has stuck with me ever since, and it’s something I pass on to my own daughter.”
Mother-Daughter Bonding in the Movie
Rachel teams up with Carolyn’s father, Scott, to save the day.
In the movie, Alex turns to her mother, Rachel, for help in rescuing her cousin, strengthening their bond. Arianne described the relationship between the characters, saying, “Alex is a good kid trying to do the right thing. Alongside the main storyline, there’s a subplot where Alex and I work on reconnecting as mother and daughter. It’s a beautiful part of the film.”
Arianne playfully teased that soap fans should watch "Web Cam Girls" because, well, “I’m in it!” But she also highlighted why the movie will resonate with her audience. “Soaps often feature kidnappings, detectives, comas, and accidents. This film has a similar vibe but happens at a much faster pace. It’s a thrilling two-hour ride. Anyone who loves suspense will enjoy it.”
Oh, and there’s one more fun fact: the movie airs on the 50th anniversary of her parents’ wedding! Arianne laughed, “What better way to celebrate than with a thrilling movie premiere?”
