2007

“Lucy Boynton, cast next as feisty, ballet-mad Posy, also spent time in the hairdresser’s chair. Her own hair is dark blonde, but, says Heidi: “In auditions she was brilliant, lovable, but also hilariously funny, and we realised her delicate complexion would make her convincing as a redhead. So out came the scissors, the curlers and the dye.”

[Unknown] “Behind the Scenes of Ballet Shoes” promotional interviews by the BBC Official  Ballet Shoes Website.

“We think carefully about which parts Lucy does, of course,” said Adriaane, mother of Lucy Boynton, 13, who stars in Ballet Shoes. “She was asked to read for the new St. Trinian’s film, but we couldn’t believe the vulgarity of the script. It had the girls running a phone sex line and using really pornographic language. Who knows what’s happened to the script now, but when we read it, it was disgraceful.“

[December] “Child Stars: Here’s looking at you, kids” by Hermione Eyre, for The Independent newspaper, UK.

“Lucy Boynton plays the author as a child and Newsround went to meet her to get the lowdown on the movie. She explained it was sometimes difficult playing a person who was born more than 100 years ago.”

[January] “We meet young Miss Potter star” interview for the CBBC Newsround Website.

2006

“I was listening in astonishment as she flung herself into the car after school and breathlessly explained how a woman from Priscilla John Casting had sat in on their drama class. She was looking for a girl to play Beatrix Potter as a child in a film starring Renée Zellweger and had asked Lucy to audition.”

[December] “My Lucy, the film star” by Adriaane Pielou (Lucy’s mother) for the Telegraph, UK.

“Lucy Boynton’s original ambition was to work at Battersea Dogs Home. Reality being what it is, however, the schoolgirl from south London has had to adjust her sights — and settle for the job of mere movie star.”

[December] “Once upon a time there was a little girl who wanted to be a movie star” by Neil Tweedie for the Telegraph, UK.
