Description

Australian teen actor Lily Whiteley steps from the stage to the silver screen in her debut film Kangaroo. She shares how a Facebook post led to her first audition, what it was like running through the red dirt of Alice Springs, bonding with real joeys, and working alongside iconic Aussie stars. Lily opens up about her dream of meeting Margot Robbie, the thrill of seeing herself on the big screen, and advice for young performers chasing their own spotlight.
