Her parents, hoping to spare her a life of endless auditioning, decided to teach her a lesson. “They handed me a paper and said, ‘Here’s an open audition. Go try out and see how many other girls want to act,’ ” the actress, now 23, recalls. “Then,” as she puts it, “the craziest shit happened.” The movie was called Notes on a Scandal, and she got the part of Cate Blanchett’s daughter.
