When she was eighteen years old, she wrote a letter to the producer with a request to take her to the "Prime Suspect" project. She was invited to the casting, and she successfully passed it. To become a real actress, Reilly had to leave home - filming the series required this. The role of drug addict Kelly was successful. This helped to believe in myself and make sure that the choice of the profession of the actress was the right one.
By the way, when the sequel to The Prime Suspect was being filmed, Kelly was again invited to the project, but for a different role.
And then, having set the goal of becoming an actress, Reilly began to attend auditions, auditions, auditions. To earn a living, she worked as a waitress.
