Young talent actress to watch
For me a good actor/actress is eye contact and putting yourself into that character shoes given it your all and everything into the role. I like characters that I can feel a connection with through the screen weather you make me laugh or cry i enjoy that the most.

Laurence lives in New York City and has two younger sisters, Aimee and Jetè, who are also actresses.Seen this young lady in Southpaw she did an amazing job in this movie.Oona is a young talent actress to watch. In Southpaw I was in tears I love the chemistry between her character and Jake Gyllenhaal character the way they connect as father and daughter was an eye-catching moment. I love how she was trying to keep her father afloat when he was falling/tumbling down after the lost she stood in her father corner throughout the movie. I'm saying this because it's been a long time sent I been into a child actor sent Dakota Fanning and Saoirse Ronan but they grown. I can see Oona Laurence growing as an actress like Chloe Grace Moretz but better. I know Oona would have a great film career in the future so much talent in this young lady.- Actress

I grew up in a small Canadian mining town and dabbled the time away trying every activity you could imagine. I drew pictures in the sand at little league baseball and ultimately quit every extracurricular I ever tried; performing was the only thing that stuck. My time is spent in the California sun with summers in the British Columbia mountains. I enjoy barefooting on the beach and soothe my soul to the rhythm of my dog's heart beat. I am interested in connecting with growth minded individuals who- oh, shoot... wrong site.Good underground comedy actor hope she branch out in come to Hollywood.
