From Grinch starlet to rock sensation: Taylor Momsen's journey
The movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," featuring Jim Carrey, definitely deserves attention as one of the must-watch holiday classics. It has been 24 years since its premiere. Back then, Taylor Momsen was only 6 years old.
Taylor Momsen was a girl who attended a Catholic school and met her parents' expectations, although it did not make her happy. In one interview, she revealed that her parents enrolled her with the renowned Ford modeling agency when she was just two years old.
"No 2-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice. My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn't have friends. I was working constantly and I didn't have a real life," she shared.
Momsen's journey with the camera began when she was three, mainly in commercials. A breakthrough role came with her appearance in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in 2000. As a young actress, she later starred in productions such as "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson, "Spy Kids II," and "Hansel and Gretel."
As she got older, Momsen became less interested in acting and modeling. At 16, she decided to follow her passions and started a music career, joining the rock band The Pretty Reckless.
"With music, I can be myself," said the singer, who transformed from a quiet girl into a rock rebel. Her new daring outfits, bold makeup, and high shoes gained many fans.
Taylor's popularity is growing, as shown by the numbers: she has 2.2 million followers on Instagram, and her concerts around the world draw crowds.
Regarding the actress, her last major TV project was the series "Gossip Girl," in which she starred from 2007 to 2012. She now mainly dedicates herself to producing her music videos.
