On the eve of the New Year holidays, many of us are reviewing the nostalgic films of our childhood. This, and Soviet New Year films, and Western. Among the latter, I think no one has forgotten the Christmas film “The Grinch - The Christmas Thief,” starring Jim Carrey .

According to the plot of the film, the once offended Grinch , who was significantly different from other residents of Ktograd , was disappointed in life and chose loneliness.

Moreover, the hero of the film tried in every possible way to harm his fellow countrymen. Of course, the Grinch was kind in heart, but circumstances forced him to wear the "mask" of an evil hero.

And only a little girl named Cindy Lou saw in Grinch not a monster, but a kind person (even if he does not look quite like a person). Only thanks to her the hero of the film saw the kindness of this world.

The role of cindy lou who hair went to the cute and pretty 7-year-old actress Taylor Momsen (now 26 years old). Later, the actress also starred in other films (for example, "Hansel and Gretel", "Spy Kids 2", "Paranoid Park", "Super Dog" ).

Taylor also auditioned for the role of Hana Montana , which eventually played Miley Cyrus . Now the girl is the leader of the rock band The Pretty Reckless .

Here is how Momsen explains his becoming a musician, not an actress “Music is where I can be myself” ... “Playing a movie is simple. I have been doing this for a very long time and love it very much.

But you portray a character, not yourself. Music is a more personal thing, because it is you who invent it and participate in every stage of its creation. ”

But for me personally, Taylor Momsen remains that sweet and kind girl from my childhood who melted hope and love in the heart of the "evil" Grinch.
