The actress, 51, has recalled her time taking on difficult jobs before finding success in films, and she recalled a period where she 'cleaned toilets' to make a living. She told The Kelly Clarkson Show: 'I started working really young. I've done everything. I was a waitress for a decade. I also was a chambermaid at a bed and breakfast.' The Charlie's Angels star took the opportunity to make a plea for any guests in the hospitality sector from someone who's been on the other side. She begged: 'I just have some advice for people who stay in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, whatever.'

However, Elizabeth conceded that the experience was character-building, and she feels like she's ready for anything. She added: 'Kelly, I can go anywhere. It's not glamorous this life you lead. You end up going a lot of crazy places and I'm like, 'I've been worse.' ' Elizabeth - who has kids Felix, 14, and Magnus, 12, with her husband Max Handelman - recently insisted her children have 'no interest' in following in her footsteps as actors when it comes to their own working ambitions. She told PEOPLE magazine: 'If my kids decide to get into acting, which they have currently no interest in, then I would be thrilled to ever do anything with them if they would deign to hang out with me. 'It's unlikely. In fact, it would have to be a paying job for them to actually want to hang out with me.' She also revealed one of her boys recently had a role in a school production, but wasn't impressed with the return he got for the work he put in. Speaking to E! News, she quipped: 'My son was recently in a school play and he said, 'That was a lot of effort for flowers and some applause!''
