Jemma Forte grew up dreaming of working in a shoe store, becoming a renowned actress, or contributing to Cosmopolitan magazine (she loved the foot-measuring device in Clarks).
Her parents felt that she was “precocious enough already” and didn’t need to attend stage school.
They did actively support her obsession with reading and writing, though, and when she was eight, she wrote her first book, “Mizzy the Germ.”
She sent it to a publisher, unknowingly supporting the entire precocious thesis, and was shocked when they decided not to publish it.
She completely blames The Kids from Fame for her continued urge to perform years later. After submitting countless letters, showreels, and auditions, she was hired as a Disney Channel presenter in 1998.
