Teresa Palmer: the beginning of the journey

The actress was born in Australia. It happened in February 1986. Teresa Palmer was born into a family of an investor and a nurse.

It was there that they were seen by director Tallouri, who offered the girl a role in his new film.

The sad film was an extraordinary success at the Cannes Film Festival, with a standing ovation from the audience for several minutes.
