Before becoming Eloise Bridgerton, Claudia Jessie was a girl for whom a dance or music lesson could represent an economic sacrifice that her mother was willing to face.
The British actress, who has become famous all over the world thanks to Bridgerton, has grown through periods of economic difficulties between Birmingham and London.
Behind many of the opportunities she had as a girl was mainly her mother, Dawn.
Claudia told that her mother came to clean houses in exchange for her daughter's music or dance classes.
It was not simply a matter of accompanying the daughter's talent, but of using her work concretely to offer her opportunities that would otherwise have been difficult to sustain economically.
When Jessie left school at age 14, he continued to study at home with his mother.
Years later, that girl would come on the screen.
Before Bridgerton had already started a television career, with roles in productions such as WPC 56, Line of Duty and Vanity Fair. But it would have been the character of Eloise Bridgerton to give her international fame.
Claudia Jessie did not forget what existed before success.
She herself told publicly the economic difficulties of her childhood and the sacrifices she made.
It is easy to watch an actress on the screen when success has already arrived.
Much more difficult is to see everything that happened when no one knew his name: a mother who worked, difficult lessons to afford, a teenager looking for his own way and a family who had to deal with limited resources.
Success rarely tells itself the whole story of a person.
In the case of Claudia Jessie, behind the elegant costumes and the great salons of Bridgerton there is also the memory of a mother who came to clean the houses of others in exchange for the lessons of music or dance of the daughter.
And perhaps one of the most beautiful ways of getting away is never to forget who, when you were still at first, made sacrifices so that you could start your journey.
