After a brief but harrowing turn as a preteenager who goes on the lam from a brutal pimp in the thriller London to Brighton (2006), British actress Georgia Groome signed for one of her first leads: the part of a precocious teenager who begins to discover that loved ones are a girl's most important assets, in Gurinder Chadha's coming-of-age seriocomedy Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (2008).
