RACHEL HURD-WOOD stars as young Betsy Bell, whose innocence and very life are challenged when she becomes the target of an insidious evil.
Hurd-Wood is currently one of the most appreciated young actors from Britain. She became well known for her very first role, Wendy Darling, in “Peter Pan,” the fantasy feature film directed by P.J. Hogan. For Rachel, this was just the very beginning. Shortly before she started filming AN AMERICAN HAUNTING, she finished performing in “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking” with Rupert Everett, which was broadcast on British Television and on American television’s PBS. She also recently completed filming the feature “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer,” directed by Tom Tykwer and featuring an international ensemble cast, including Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman.
Hurd-Wood is back at school now and is determined to do well academically. She reads scripts sent by her agents and there may be another project for her on the horizon. Rachel also has become very interested in working with children who have special emotional and psychological needs.
Currently, the young actress lives with her parents and her brother in a Victorian cottage on the edge of a forest in leafy Surrey, about an hour from London, and goes to school locally. Her father Philip is an actor and screenwriter and has worked as a voiceover artist for over 20 years.
