In the history of world cinema there are the most incredible stories. Young and popular actress Kaya Scodelario in childhood suffered from dyslexia. However, this did not prevent her from becoming a prominent figure in the profession.
Starting conditions
At the birth of Kaya, Scodelario received a different surname. The now famous actress was born on March 13, 1992. At that time, the family lived in London. Father, one hundred percent Briton, left his wife and a small child. The girl remained in the arms of her mother, a nee Brazilian woman who had to work hard and hard. Scodelario is the mother's maiden name. The house was fluent in English and Portuguese.
When Kaya went to school, she showed dyslexia. This is not a disease, but a consequence of the insufficient development of mental functions. With age, this pathology goes away, but in childhood and adolescence it causes serious trouble. The girl did not dream of becoming an actress. After a detailed discussion with her mother and loved ones, she decided to attend a theater studio. On stage, you don’t have to read tests from a sheet, but only say monologues.
Professional activity
From the age of eight, Kaya began to regularly attend a drama studio. With great desire, she played a variety of roles in children's performances on the school stage. It is interesting to note that by the age of thirteen, an aspiring actress already had an agent who was looking for suitable roles. Her professional career began at the girl of Scodelario at fourteen. The television studio held a large-scale casting for a set of performers for the youth series "Skins".
According to the results of the selection, it turned out that Kaya is the youngest applicant who has not yet completed school education. This did not become an obstacle to participate in the project. In the first issues, she represented a supporting person. But she was so convincing and talented that in the final series she turned into one of the main characters. The series lasted on the screen for more than six years. Kai was noticed and invited to feature films.
