Frances Anderson was looking forward to a modern teenage experience.

So when Modern Family ended after 11 seasons in 2020, the actress—who played Lily on the hit ABC sitcom—knew it was time to try life as a normal teenager after years on set.

"I was homeschooled while filming Modern Family , which ended when I was 12," Frances told E! News’ Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. "I decided to take time off from acting to go to school, be with kids my age, and find myself."

And while the 18-year-old is currently focused on music—opting to go by her middle name instead of the birth name Aubrey Anderson-Emmons she used as a child star—she isn’t ditching life in front of the camera forever.

"I plan to act again," Frances noted, "but the break was exactly what I needed."
