The long road to stardom......



   If any British-born child actress can claim to have taken a long road to stardom, which has seen them go through childhood and adolescence, culminating with entry into womanhood, then Holliday Grainger certainly can. It has taken from her to a child of six acting in a TV comedy drama to a Hollywood leading lady-in-waiting, as his been stylishly and visibly displayed when she walked down the red carpet last Sunday at the 2012 Orange BAFTA Film Awards. However, if this doesn't put her on Hollywood's radar, her portrayal of Estella in the forthcoming movie adaptation of 'Great Expectations' [production images of her as Miss Havisham's adopted daughter coming soon] surely will. After 18 years of being a working actress, we might well be seeing referring to her as a movie superstar from now on.
