Bristol Palin Lands Debut Acting Gig

Watch out, Levi Johnston, your baby mama could make it in Hollywood before you do. Bristol Palin scored her first acting gig, although “acting” is perhaps a bit of a stretch: She’ll be playing herself on ABC’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, a show about a teen mom. "I am thrilled to be on this show and to be part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy," Palin says.

On the show, Palin will befriend protagonist—and fellow, albeit fictional, teen mom—Amy at a music program for teen mothers. Bristol “will bring additional attention to the issues facing teen parents that we've been exploring for a couple seasons now," an executive producer says.
