2. She Is Not On Social Media
As a beautiful and talented young actress, Lily has all the makings to be popular on social media. Surprisingly though, she doesn’t seem to have any interest in building an online presence.

6. She Was A Teacher
Being a professional actress may appear fun and glamorous, yet in truth it is full of highs and lows and dry periods that are long enough to make some abandon the profession altogether.

10. She Worked With An Vocal Coach For Her Role In McDonald & Dodds
In her latest project, McDonald & Dodds, Lily plays a Polish character. As you can imagine, getting the Polish accent down wasn’t something that came naturally to her.
