A Girl With Down Syndrome Becomes a Thriving Model and Actress and Now Wants to Win Over Hollywood

All people with Down syndrome have their own talents, scientists claim. They could be gifted in poetry, art, or even be able to read other people’s emotions. People with Down syndrome want to be recognized as unique individuals with their own unique abilities or skills. Our heroine is living proof of this, and she could become a great inspiration for many people around the world with her gift and ambition.

Here at Bright Side, we want to tell you the story of actress Lily Moore, who has Down syndrome. She’s achieved a lot by her 19th birthday, and keeps inspiring people with her talent and strong will.

Acting was Lily’s love at first sight.

Lily had her first drama class when she was just 6 years old, and she instantly fell in love with acting. “I knew this is what I wanted to do,” says Moore in an interview. “I’ve been going at it ever since.”

Lily is now 19 years old, and she’s an actress and a model. But one of her main social roles and her calling is to advocate for people with disabilities. She has appeared in more than 20 projects, one of the most famous being Netflix’s Never Have I Ever.

Her dream roles just keep on coming.

Lily is a hard-working actress, and her success and fame are only beginning. Recently, Moore received her first lead role in Color My World with Love. It’s a romantic story about 2 people with Down syndrome. In her interview, the actress says, “It has always been one of my dreams. I finally got that chance.”

The young actress has very ambitious plans for the future.

Lily has really big aspirations for her acting career. In her interview with People, she said, “I want to be the first Down syndrome actress to win an Oscar!” But despite such ambitious plans, this young lady hasn’t forgotten about her education.

In the fall, she will attend Clemson University and wants to study healthcare. “I really want to help people and save lives,” says the rising talent in her interview.

Lily has an immense support system and a powerful message for people.

Moore constantly speaks about her super helpful parents and 2 older sisters. She is grateful to them, as they strongly encourage her to aim for new horizons in her career and personal life.

She’s gone through many obstacles in her life and is learning to love her body. On her Instagram, she wrote, “The scars on my body where I’ve had multiple surgeries, but it shows how tough my body is and I appreciate that my body has healed and it made me stronger.”

“People with Down syndrome have hopes and dreams, just like everyone,” says Moore in her interview. “We want friends, to get a job, to go to college, to fall in love, to live independently, and also to get married. We don’t need to have anyone feel sorry for us.”
