Actress Keisha Castle-Hughes says pursuing her acting career to the top is the best gift she can give to her daughter.
Castle-Hughes, now 24, was condemned in the media when she confirmed in 2006 that she was pregnant at 16. She told a teen parent conference in Auckland yesterday about one article in which "a whole bunch of experts" gave their opinions on what having the baby would do to her life.
"I remember thinking, 'You're not going to be changing her nappies, so why should you be telling me what to do?'" she said.
Today her daughter Felicity is 7, living mainly with her father, Bradley Hull, in Ellerslie while Castle-Hughes follows her dreams. The actress has an apartment in Los Angeles with Kiwi scriptwriter husband Jonathan Morrison, whom she married last year, and is filming the next season of Game of Thrones in Northern Ireland, Croatia and Spain.
