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 (2005), which was her movie debut. She reprised her role in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010). Georgie’s promotion of the three Narnia films took her to New York, Orlando, Tokyo, Paris, and lots of other places around the world.Georgie has finished 6th form this summer at Bradford Grammar School, and will be attending Cambridge University, starting in fall 2013, to study English. She is no longer a part of her drama club “Upstagers”, but hopes to continue her acting career on the big screen, and has also done some theater work at her school. In her free time, she enjoys watching films with her friends, and listening to and writing music. She says that if she doesn’t keep acting in the future, she’d like to teach, or experiment with music or writing.
