KATHRYN'S CAREER
Megan and Kathryn rose to fame after their role as Emily and Katie in the top TV series "Skins." The girls starred alongside Jack O'Connell, Kaya Scodelario, and Luke Pasqualino.
Following their remarkable roles in "Skins," Kathryn went on to make appearances in other top TV shows, including "24: Legacy," "Finding Carter," and "A Dog's Journey."
KATHRYN ON "SKINS"
Kathryn portrayed a series of teenage characters in several films and TV shows. The star showed up on "Skins" when the former actors were replaced with a new cast. But, just like the previous actors, Kathryn was replaced after two seasons.
The actress once revealed in an interview that she didn't have to "hold anything back" on the show because her character (Emily) wasn't the usual teenage girl. The series was about a girl who didn't know her mother was her kidnapper.
Kathryn was drawn to the character (Emily) because of what she was going through with her mother. The role was what most teenagers went through in real life.
She also explained she didn't feel like she was pretending to be younger as her age wasn't too far from the character. But as she got older, she became more aware of her role as a teenage star.
The actress also joked in an interview that the British tabloids constantly speculated that she and her TV sweetheart Lily Loveless were together offset. However, the actresses are only good friends.
