Childhood and youth

Holland Marie Roden was born on October 7, 1986, in Dallas. The parents worked as medics and saw their daughter as their successor, but the girl interrupted their plans from early childhood: six-year-old Holland took an interest in the history of the British royal family. She liked sophisticated and delicate Princess Diana and often played her; she copied her mimics, gestures, manners, and behavior.

As the parents saw their child’s fondness of the princess, they took her to a drama studio. Little Holland was excited: she could express herself in various forms there. Simultaneously, the would-be star went to Hockaday School for girls. The young woman was interested in science, and studying was easy for her.
