Child Star's Spooky Doll Gift from Director
14 Feb
Summary
- The young actress found her director's gift exceptionally creepy.
- She juggled filming with algebra tutoring on set.
- Running through the Moors was a highlight of the shoot.
A 14-year-old actress is taking on the iconic role of Cathy in a new adaptation of "Wuthering Heights." This marks her first major on-screen performance, following a West End role in "Matilda." The young star navigated the challenging role with surprising ease, even while attending algebra tutoring between intense scenes.
Filming in the dramatic Yorkshire landscape, the actress embraced the elements, finding that the rain and wind enhanced the dramatic atmosphere. She recalled memorable moments, including running through the Moors and a particularly muddy scene with co-star Owen Cooper. The cast and crew fostered a supportive environment, with interactions involving co-stars like Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
Director Emerald Fennell presented the young actress with a reportedly "creepy" doll from the set as a parting gift, a memento she found fittingly unsettling. The actress is now focused on her schooling, with upcoming GCSE drama performances, and expressed interest in future roles, particularly in rom-coms and horror genres.
