Holly Taylor Facts
- She has disclosed that like Paige, she has been super close to her parents who hail from Britain, and had been living in Nova Scotia when she was born, having then shifted to Wayne in New Jersey when she was 3 years old. There, they had made her join a dance class when she had taken to it immediately.
- Holly has revealed that as a child her dream was to be on Broadway when her parents had no idea about the theatrical performances. However, they soon found out, as her dream soon came true. At the age of 11, she landed a role as the ballet student Sharon Percy in the original Broadway production of Billy Elliot, for which she began dancing 8 shows every week at the Imperial Theater in New York City. She continued going to school and her mother shuttled with her to Manhattan 6 days a week.
- Holly has stated that whenever someone has approached her and conveyed how much they dislike her character, she has taken it as a big compliment. She has had random strangers pointing at her face and screaming when she has wondered if she should thank them.
