Rachel Hurd-Wood

When she was younger, she was jealous of the Wendy character in the Disney film Peter Pan (1953), because that Wendy got to swordfight and fly.

She enjoys ice skating, art and listening to rap and hip-hop music.

She found out about the role of Wendy in Peter Pan (2003) after her grandparents saw an advert on television. They contacted Rachel's mother and when she came home from school one day her mother started measuring her, when she found Rachel was in the height requirements, she said Rachel could audition.

She loves dolphins so much that she has her heart set on becoming a Marine Biologist.
