Georgia Laura "Georgie" Henley (born July 9, 1995) is an English author and child actress who played Lucy Pevensie in the The Chronicles of Narnia film series, for which she won the 2005 Phoenix Film Critics Award for "Best Performance by a Youth in a Lead or Supporting Role - Female" in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.[1]
Henley is scheduled to reprise her Narnia role in the sequel, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, due in cinemas in 2008.
Henley lives in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, where she attends Bradford Grammar School and is part of the Ilkley Upstagers' Theatre Group. Georgie's parents are Mike and Helen Henley, and she is the younger sister of Rachael (who plays the older version of Lucy Pevensie in the film) and Laura Henley.
Since the release of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe she has appeared in the stage play Babes in the Wood at her local theatre group, which ran from January 27 to February 4, 2006. She also appeared as the young Jane Eyre in the 2006 BBC adaptation of Jane Eyre.
Henley wrote two books while filming The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: "The Snow Stag" and "The Pillar of Secrets".[2]
[edit] Trivia
- As a thank-you gift for being in his film, Andrew Adamson gave each of the children an iPod. When Henley got hers she thanked him whole-heartedly, but once he was out of earshot she turned to her mother and asked: "What is it?"
- At first she thought that Adamson was a woman because of his light hair and fair skin.[3]
- Anna Popplewell got Henley to cry by saying: "You would cry for your own sister, but why not for me?" and added "I hate you! I hate you!" As a result, Henley wept for the Aslan death scene.
