When they realized it was time for Storm to achieve her dreams as an actress, they moved to Los Angeles to help her achieve the heights in her acting career.

Even though the move was risky, her mother decided it was worth taking, and it has paid off. Shortly after the move, she got her first role as young Erica in "A Cross to Bear."

The actress does not talk much about her father but once revealed that she got her height from him. Storm said:

"I had a fear of being too tall because my dad is very tall, and both my sisters are very tall. And they're drop-dead gorgeous, but I just didn't know if I, as Storm, wanted to be 6 feet tall, 'cause I feel like that's pretty tall."
