She Worked at a Special-Needs School Between Acting Jobs
Even after landing her breakout role on The Spanish Princess, Nadia struggled to find work, and she ended up taking on a very different role instead. “I was in drama school when I got the job [on The Spanish Princess],” she told Grace during her What They Don’t Tell You About appearance. “I left early to do it. Everyone was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is incredible.’ . . . Ten months later, I hadn’t worked, and I’d started working at a special-needs school to help out with some kids there.”
