Twelve-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes found fame when her first film Whale Rider became an international hit. Her performance as spirited Māori girl Pai scored an Oscar nomination, and many awards. She followed it by starring as Mary in the biblically-themed Nativity Story, and in 2009 won a Qantas award for playing a pregnant teenager in tele-movie Piece of My Heart. More recently she reunited with Niki Caro for The Vintner's Luck, and appeared on TV's Almighty Johnsons.
Castle-Hughes, who's never acted before, is totally beguiling. She possesses an innate grace that makes her transformation from outcast adolescent to spiritual warrior seem utterly natural.
– David Ansen, reviewing Whale Rider in Newsweek
