Brighton-based Dakota Blue Richards starred as Lyra in the film adapation of Philip Pullman's book, The Golden Compass. She was selected from the ten thousand girls who auditioned. Philip Pullman, author of the books, said that, "As soon as I saw Dakota's screen test, I realised that the search was over." She will star in The Secret of Moonacre, a film adaptation of Elizabeth Goudge's book, The Little White Horse.
