From children’s shows like the ‘The Worst Witch’ and ‘Happy Families’ to dramas like ‘Cutting It’ and ‘Bergarac’, Annette managed to change her behaviour, and adopt the working attitudes of the characters she portrays. As an experienced actor she has played roles in the box office hits ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Valiant’, directed by Tim Burton.
