As a teenager, Adriana Piñon took night classes in addition to her regular high school curriculum so that she could graduate early and focus on her acting and modeling career. At 17 she landed a gig as a recurring extra on "The Young and the Restless," and after her 18th birthday producers informed her they were upgrading her to a speaking role. Adriana was elated, but tragically someone robbed her of that dream before she got to have her moment in the spotlight.
