Oh, I love a story of hard work, dedication, and especially a South African success overseas.
You will remember this young lady from her early days on SABC 1's 'YOtv'. She was nine when she made her debut on TV.

Growing up, all I wanted to do was be on stage and a TV actress. Ever since I was a small human I have been delighted by the 'lights, camera, action,' and Lara had been living her dream fully.

The New York Webfest is an annual event that celebrates the best of the web. According to Times Live, Lipschitz and co-producer Devin Toselli were the first South African finalists at NYC Web Fest‚ now in its fourth year.
Lara's web series, 'Chin Up' - which she won the award for, is a web series exposing the ups and downs of being an actress and is hilarious, if you ask me.
Lara is a testament that if you hitch your wagon to a star, anything is possible.
