Emma Watson: Actress And Feminist
By Frances Pipa
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born on April 15, 1990, in Paris, France. Her parents divorced when Watson was only 5, and she moved back to Oxfordshire, England, to live with her mother and brother. She attended the Stagecoach Theatre Arts school, which was where her talent in acting became evident. Teachers recommended Watson to agents to audition for the role of Hermione Granger in the best-selling Harry Potter series. She auditioned eight times, and eventually got the role! This helped Watson become very well-known as an actress. Watson went on to star in many more roles, notably Belle in the live-action Beauty and the Beast, Meg in Little Women, and Sam in the Perks of Being a Wallflower. She is a feminist and a great activist for women’s rights. She is an inspiration to many girls around the world!
