lucy hutchinson -lrb- born 18 july 2003 -rrb- is an english child actress from sanderstead , croydon .
her first acting experience came in the 2008 film `` dustbin baby '' , based on jacqueline wilson 's 2001 novel of the same name .
in `` dustbin baby '' , she played the younger version of the lead character april , seen in flashbacks .
hutchinson was five at the time of filming , and was described by director juliet may as `` one of the most remarkable five year olds i have ever met '' , saying that `` it 's like she 's not acting at all '' .
prior to her appearance in `` dustbin baby '' , hutchinson had attended a local drama group for children , and was signed up with an agency .
her father said that she got the role because `` she was the right face in the right place ... she was incredibly lucky but that does n't deter from how well she did in getting it . ''
after the release of `` dustbin baby '' , hutchinson played roles in british television programmes `` eastenders '' , `` doc martin '' and `` psychoville '' .
her film debut came when she filmed scenes for the american film `` prometheus '' , in which she played a younger version of the main character , elizabeth shaw .
director ridley scott considers the scenes critical for providing insight into elizabeth 's motivations .
hutchinson said `` it was really good and i think the experience was great for me as well .
it was filming at pinewood , it is such a big place and that showed me what other sets were being built there which was good .
i have never really been to a big set before , i just thought ` wow ' .
i know it was a big scene , ridley scott told me it was a really big scene .
i was quite confident and just thought ` yeah i am going to do this ' . ''
hutchinson subsequently starred in a variety of appearances on radio , stage and television , including roles in `` little crackers '' , `` the politician 's husband '' , `` not going out '' and `` inside no. 9 '' .
she has main roles `` dani 's castle '' and forthcoming bbc comedy `` the kennedys '' .
