Loved James when we first met.
She was 14. 
So sweet - and too young. 
It didn’t sit right. 

We reconnected a few years later, and you could feel the shift.
By the time I cast her in Peter Lindbergh’s Young Hollywood Pirelli Calendar, it was clear.

She’s spoken openly about how difficult those early years were.
So much respect for her. 
Some journeys ask more.
