By Maddy O'Hara,Sophomore, Marin Academy
It’s hard to believe that Willow Shields was only eleven years old when filming the first of the “Hunger Games” movies. As Primrose Everdeen, she shone through the screen with her talent and maturity. Now she’s fourteen and promoting the third movie of the franchise, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1.
The film has been one of the most anticipated features of the year, and finally made its premiere in Hollywood on November 18th.
For the young star, her passion for acting started when she was merely seven-years-old living in New Mexico. She began going to open casting calls and booked small guest starring and movie roles.
Her big break came in 2011 when she booked the role of Prim, Katniss’s younger sister, in the first of the very successful movie The Hunger Games, adapted from the bestselling and cherished series written by Suzanne Collins.
