A "rebel" from the start, at the tender age of 15, and against her families wishes, Ozzie began to secretly audition for various "theatrical productions" around London. However, her youth was a hindrance and resulted in her being turned down for a number of roles. So, at the next audition, Ozzie lied and claimed to be older than she was. "It worked", says Ozzie, "They judged me on my talent, and I got my first acting role in a London Stage play". It was off to the races, and in spite of her young age, acting offers came pouring in.
