"The past few years have been trying for the Jackson family, but throughout it all, Michael Jackson&amp;apos;s middle child, Paris Jackson, has managed to stay grounded -- and put her unusual upbringing into perspective.\r\nThe late King of Pop&amp;apos;s only daughter (with ex-wife Deborah Rowe) opens up to Oprah Winfrey in an interview on Oprah&amp;apos;s Next Chapter (airing Sunday at 9 p.m.) about life with her dad -- including his decision to keep her and her two siblings veiled during public appearances.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I was really confused. I didn&amp;apos;t get why I was wearing a mask,&amp;quot; Jackson reveals. &amp;quot;I understand it now. My dad wanted us to be covered [because] he wanted us to have a childhood.&amp;quot; That way she, Prince, and Blanket could go places other kids could, like Chuck E. Cheese. &amp;quot;Chuck E. Cheese was one of our most favorite places to go,&amp;quot; she explains.\r\nAs for processing her father&amp;apos;s death? The teen tells Winfrey, &amp;quot;It never gets any easier.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn December, Jackson scored her first role in a feature film, fantasy flick Lundon&amp;apos;s Bridge and the Three Keys -- and said it was her father who inspired her to pursue her passion for movies.\r\n&amp;quot;I love acting,&amp;quot; she told Ellen DeGeneres that month during her first-ever solo interview. &amp;quot;When I was really little, my dad was in the movie Moonwalker. I knew he could sing really well, but I didn&amp;apos;t know he could act. I saw that and I said, &amp;apos;Wow, I want to be just like him.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
