    • Trivia
      She was born deaf and normally uses hearing aids. For her role in The Silence (2010), in which she plays a deaf girl who has just had a cochlear implant fitted, she was required to remove her hearing aids. She also had to learn sign language which she had never done before because she had always relied on her hearing aids supplemented by lip reading.
