Nora Rowley Christina Cole "... The Rowleys went back to the seat of their government, leaving Nora, the second girl, in charge of her elder sister ..." "... Nora was all that an unmarried sister should be ..." Straight out of drama school, Christina Cole landed a role in What A Girl Wants with Colin Firth and Amanda Bynes and she's been working ever since. Acting is not something that runs in the Cole family. She describes her parents as "very straight-laced:" her mother is a telecentre manager and her father is a driving instructor. Cole is the eldest child in her family, with a younger sister and brother. Cole describes her character, Nora Rowley, in He Knew He Was Right as passionate but calm. "She is the voice of reason. She's very much the second child and knows when to keep her mouth shut, although she tries to give advice. Nora has to choose between marrying for love and marrying for money. She's passionate about what she believes in and fights tooth and nail to marry the man she loves. It's a very difficult decision for her. She knows that if she could just choose money it would solve the family's financial problems, but she has to follow her heart." After Cole made her first feature film, she was chosen by acclaimed director Terry Hands to star as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet for the Welsh National Theatre.
