1-. How was your childhood? I was born in Bradford in 1978 I was the first child of Susan and Robert Haxby. 4 years later my brother Lee was born. My dad lost his job and we had to move to a council estate called Thorpedge. We lived in a block of flats called Ailse House, I went to Parkland Primary school and so did my brother. I never really saw my dad in my early years as he was always working away when he got a new job always abroad so I do not really have any memories of him which is sad but I had my mum and brother. Sadly, my mum was an alcoholic and we saw this every night. I would be given a note from my mum and sent to the shop for 2 litre bottles of cider. I remember being 8 years old and picking up a stick and playing army this was the time I realised I wanted to be a soldier. We moved into a house in Idle and things were ok for a while. Then my dad left my mum and we were on our own. My mum went into full alcoholism and it was terrible. Men would come home and d...

1-. How was your childhood? I had a positive childhood overall; however, I struggled with behavioural challenges from a young age. During the 1990s, ADHD was not widely recognised or understood, and children who exhibited such traits were often simply labelled as “naughty.” At the age of eleven, I was placed into a children’s home because my parents were unable to manage my behaviour. Growing up in care was both difficult and isolating. It was an environment shaped by survival rather than emotional development, and there were limited opportunities to experience consistent love, stability, or guidance. At fifteen and a half, I was moved into a bed and breakfast, and by sixteen I was living independently in my own home. I had to mature quickly and navigate adulthood largely on my own, often without clear direction. The challenges, life experiences, and trauma I faced during those years profoundly shaped me — not only as a person, but as an actor. In many ways, this journe...

1. How was your childhood? I’m an only child, raised in a deeply musical and loving household. My father is a pastor and my mother is a music minister — they met in a well-known gospel vocal group in Brazil during the 1980s, and in many ways, I was born into that musical environment. From a very early age, I was surrounded by rehearsals, studios, harmonies, and spiritual music. My childhood was filled with love, but also with strong musical education, especially from my mother. She taught me music theory and introduced me to artists like Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Nina Simone, Sandi Patty, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Luther Vandross, and Michael Jackson. Music was never separate from my life — it was the atmosphere I grew up breathing. 2. Do you remember the exact moment you decided you wanted to dedicate your life to music? Yes. I was about seven years old when I was invited to join a well-known choir in Rio de Janeiro. Soo...

1-. How was your childhood? It was pretty good. I was raised in two different cultures: Polish and American. My mom is from Poland and my dad is from Wyoming USA which makes me Polish-American. I also have an older brother who is in the computer science field. I also learned that there is a Polish community in the San Fernando Valley. I was back in Poland in August and it felt like a wave of nostalgia cause I haven’t been back there in 3 years since my grandmother passed away. I always remember my summers in Poland. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? I did perform in talent shows with singing from a very young age in elementary school. I’ve wanted to be an actress since I was 9 as a hobby. I did drama in middle school, but not in high school because I was busy with school. I may have the skills to go on screen by how I can project my voice and how I get lines in my head from films, tv shows, and play...

1.-From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to act? I’ve always viewed acting as a kind of puzzle, an attempt to understand a person’s immediate wants and their deeper, unspoken needs. That way of thinking came naturally to me. Reading a script, adopting mannerisms, and identifying the essential truths of a character felt instinctive rather than forced. Humans are endlessly complex, and there is always a defining moment or series of moments that shapes who we become. I’ve always been drawn to uncovering those emotional catalysts, to solving the inner puzzle that explains why a character behaves the way they do. Recognizing how easily I could interpret these emotional clues on the page made me realize that acting was something I could pursue professionally. It wasn’t just imagination; it was pattern recognition, empathy, and an ability to translate text into lived emotional experience. 2.-Did your parents support you in the deci...
