Dakota Blue

 Dakota Blue Richards (born 11 April 1994) is an English actress from England. At 13 years old she made her film debut in The Golden Compass as Lyra Belacqua the protagonist. The character of April, a stumbling teenager in Dustbin Baby, and Maria in The Secret of Moonacre in 2009 were also her leading roles. She played Franky Fitzgerald, a third generation actor in the British teen drama Skins in 2011. She has been in roles in film, television and on stage. Richards was born at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road, London. The family relocated to Sussex where she attended Newlands School. After having attended St Paul's Primary School, she went to Blatchington Mill School, Hove and KBis Theatre School, Brighton. Later, she said that she would like to play Lyra. The audition process was awash with ten thousand applicants, and Philip Pullman (author of the books) declared, "As soon as I saw Dakota's screen test, I realized that the wait was done." Chris Weitz, director, said Richards took what could be a difficult choice very easy.
