(2 of 2)

Indeed Tatum's major fault, says Lewis, is that she tries too hard. "She gets upset if she doesn't do something exactly right. She wants to be perfect." Those who know her say that the brash brat is now almost shy. Then too she misses her father, her friends and her brother Griffin. Though Griffin is only a year younger, Tatum plays mother as well as sister. " 'O.K., Mother, O.K., Mom,' he always answers sarcastically when I tell him to do something," she says. " 'Jesus Christ,' I tell him. 'I'm doing my best. You're too young. You don't know what I'm going through.' " Tatum sighs, like any mother, any age, anywhere. "I'll wait until he gets older and tell him.''
