Additionally -- and to this day -- in any given year you may find foster and/or foreign exchange students living in the Bennet home; their story is a real-life multicultural Cosby show. Chloe is the star of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and is currently filming MGM's feature film and musical, "Valley Girl." Chloe came up with the idea of (RUN) after keynoting the last AAPI Summit in the Obama White House.
