Cara Readle
March 16, 2009
Cara Readle began her acting career on CBBC, where she played Layla, a DisAbled resident of a children’s home in The Story Of Tracy Beaker. Now 17, Cara, who has Cerebral Palsy, has just completed a film for BBC Scotland. Zig Zag Love sees Cara’s character, Ziggy, who also has CP, falling in love with a cancer patient named Peter, a typical teenage boy.
The film airs on BBC Scotland tonight. (Monday 16th March). Those outside Scotland can watch it on BBC iPlayer.
To mark the film, Cara answered BBC Ouch’s 13 Questions last week.
I can’t watch the film on TV, as I don’t live in Scotland. But I do know that Cara Readle is truly DisAbled, and I wish her all the best both on and off screen.
