Harford Co. Girl Featured On CBS Series 'A Gifted Man'

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- A Maryland girl goes primetime. She's just 11 years old, and she's already appearing on a new CBS hit show!

Pat Warren sat down with the family to watch the little girl's big debut.

"A Gifted Man" finds a gifted girl in Harford County, and the entire Baltimore area gets a chance to see what she can do.

It's the worst possible circumstances for Tasha.

"My neck still hurts more than before," said Tasha, on "A Gifted Man."
"Everything's going to be all right. Show me where it hurts."
"Here. And my arm feels tingly."

But a best-case scenario for Eden Wiggins.

"When I was seven, I saw this commercial on TV that said, 'Have you ever wanted to show the world your gifts, talents and dreams?' And said, 'Yes, I do want to show the world that.'"

And at the ripe old age of 11, Eden Wiggins is on her way. First, a wireless community came to the rescue and finds her lost dog in an AT&T commercial posted on YouTube. And now, as one of the principle patients in the CBS series, "A Gifted Man", she expands on her own gift.

"The sets were amazing," she said. "I felt like I was in an actual building. The stairs looked like they went somewhere but they actually went nowhere at all."

Unlike Eden Wiggins, whose family fully expects her to go places.

"It's all Eden. She wants to do this and she knew early on this is what she wanted to do," Grace Wiggins, Eden Wiggins' mother, said.

"And of course, she gets her talent from my side of the family and I can't say that enough," said Adrian Wiggins, Eden Wiggins' father.

She's also building a following. Neighbors and classmates gathered in the family room to watch the show.

Reporter: "So what did you all think?"

The room applauds.
Of course, Eden Wiggins isn't the only child in her family with dreams and aspirations.

Reporter: "What do you want to be?"
Eden Wiggins' sister: "An Olympic swimmer."
Reporter: "And you want to be?"
Eden Wiggins' bother: "A doctor."
Reporter: "And you want to be?"
Eden Wiggins: "An actress, singer."

They share determination.

And you can watch "A Gifted Man" every Friday night on WJZ starting at 8 p.m.
