Matilda Firth was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire as the middle child of three. A natural performer, she joined a children's drama class for an hour every Saturday afternoon where her love for acting soon shone through. Before long, Matilda began winning roles in commercials, TV shows, and movies. Her first lead role came at only six years old when she starred in McDonald's 2021 UK Christmas commercial directed by Bert and Bertie. In 2022, Matilda had roles in Disney's "Disenchanted", "Vampire Academy", "Christmas Carole", and "Starve Acre". She also filmed the role of Grace in "Hullraisers". The following year, Matilda completed the movie "Subservience", starring Megan Fox, and played Nancy in the highly acclaimed BBC show "Time". Later that year, she got the roles of both Sophie in "Coma" and Mille-Jo in the groundbreaking "Mr Bates vs. The Post Office." In 2024, Matilda joined the cast of Blumhouse and Universal's "Wolf Man", as well as "Nine Perfect Strangers". Matilda is represented by Paradigm Talent Agency (USA) and Articulate Agency (UK).

Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years--or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she’ll choose the person who’ll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice’s head in the game. One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice—and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: She’s ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition. But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can’t swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret’s spinning—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad…depending on who’s telling it.
