EP3: More Details on Keisha Castle-Hughes Posted By Joshua on September 20, 2003
The NZ Herald talks about one of their own making it into Episode III:
Young Auckland actress and Whale Rider star Keisha Castle-Hughes has been cast in the latest Star Wars movie.
The 13-year-old, who won rave reviews for her acting debut in Whale Rider, has been named on the official Star Wars Episode 3as a cast member. The website said she would take the role of a "regal leader".
Two fan websites speculated that she would be playing the Queen of Naboo.
"She's young and female, which fits the Naboo pattern," said one site. "She's a great actress, despite being so young."
Keisha's agent, Graham Dunster, would not discuss the Star Wars role other than to say most of the filming was completed.
