Young Hatty Jones’ first ever, and only ever film to date, was Madeline, which she made when she was 10. Producers picked her out of thousands of girls at an audition because of her height and irresistible charm and eagerness. Even though the original cartoon Madeline was a redhead, producers thought blond, brown-eyed Hatty’s attributes would perfectly match those for the leading role of Madeline. Hatty and all her young co-stars made their first TV interview on Blue Peter, to promote the film’s release, and one of her first magazine interviews was with the ‘Funday times’.
