Georgia Laura Henley was born to Mike and Helen Henley on July 9, 1995, the youngest of three sisters. When she was young, she joined a local drama group called "Upstagers". It was there that she started her acting career, participating in stage performances such as
Babushka: A Christmas Story and
The Pied Piper prior to landing her first role in a film.
When Pippa Hall, casting director for
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe came to Georgie's town in search of children to play the four Pevensies, she knew Georgie was perfect for the role of Lucy after only one audition. Finally, after 18 months of auditioning, Georgie was picked from thousands of girls to play
Lucy Pevensie in
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which was her movie debut. She reprised her role in
Prince Caspian and
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Georgie's promotion of the three Narnia films took her to New York, Orlando, Tokyo, Paris, and lots of places all around the world.
Georgie is currently a student at Bradford Grammar School and loves it! She is no longer a part of her drama club "Upstagers", but hopes to continue her acting career on the big screen as soon as she's done with her GCSE exams. In her free time she enjoys listening to her iPod. She says that if she doesn't keep acting in the future, she'd like to teach, or experiment with music or writing.
Georgie also is an ambassador for SOS Childrens' Charity, the world's largest orphan charity dedicated to helping orphaned and abandoned children. You can learn more about them at their
