Leila Mimmack (born 5 November 1993) is an English actress.[1][2]
Early life
Mimmack was born on 5 November 1993 in Leamington Spa to parents Maddy Kerr and Peter Mimmack, who run the Heartbreak Productions theatre company in Spencer Yard, Leamington. Mimmack went to Stratford-upon-Avon College.[3] During her eight year at school Mimmack's teacher described the destruction of the rainforest, which had a big effect on her. Mimmack later became a climate change campaigner and attended rallies and marches. When she was 19 she moved to a narrowboat moored in Hackney marshes, partly because of environmental reasons.[4]
Career
Her first success as an actress came in 2008 when she won the "Best Teenage Actress" Award at the "Growing Talent Convention" in Paris, beating 300 competitors.
