How did you realise that to be an actress is your vocation? At what age? I have had this dream since the early childhood.
I played in the theater at school, I participated in the WHC at the institute, I have always had creative moments, but I did not associate them with being a cinema actress.. In the United States of America the talent, the way you look, predisposition to play a drama, comedy or action are evaluated most. Everything is noticed immediately.
