Bella Thorne's biography
Bella Thorne is an American actress and singer best known for her starring role in the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up! and the drama series Famous in Love, plus films like the romantic comedy Blended (2014), teen comedy The DUFF (2015), and supernatural horror Amityville: The Awakening (2017). Net worth: $12 million.
Childhood and adolescence
Annabella Bella Avery Thorne was born on October 8, 1997, in Pembroke Pines, Florida. She is the youngest child of Tamara and Rey Thorne and has three siblings: two older sisters, Dani and Kaili, and a brother, Remi. Acting runs in the family—all of Bella's siblings are also actors.
School was a nightmare for Bella, who faced constant bullying from classmates. Not only was she dyslexic, but growing up in a suburban area where Spanish was her first language, her English skills were still developing. She eventually left public school for homeschooling and later attended a special learning center, where the peaceful environment helped her develop her reading and writing skills. In her interview with American Cheerleader magazine, the actress explained that she overcame her dyslexia by religiously reading everything and anything she could find, including the labels of cereal boxes.

Acting career
Bella's childhood was not all sunshine and rainbows: her mother, Tamara, was a single mom of four and could barely make ends meet. Little Bella tried her best to support her family, so she turned to modeling and acting. She actually landed her first modeling gig for the Parents Magazine catalog when she was just a couple weeks old.


After signing the contract, Bella had to attend three dancing classes every day. She also developed her singing skills and recorded her debut single Watch Me with Zendaya, which became the soundtrack to Shake It Up! and reached 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
According to oomboola.com, the sitcom became an instant hit, and Bella Thorne gained thousands of fans overnight. While filming the third season of Shake It Up! the young starlet also appeared in another Disney Channel project – Disney Channel Original Movie Frenemies, alongside her co-star and friend Zendaya, Stefanie Scott, Nick Robinson, and Mary Mouser.

Bella's Disney contract literally rescued her family from financial ruin, though Bella admits to hating that period of her life and often speaks ill of it. She hated being a puppet for the massive corporation and clashed with the impossibly high moral standards Disney imposed on its child stars. She could never truly be herself, as she had to have an unattainable image of a good girl. For instance, when 14-year-old Bella dared to post a bikini photo on social media, she was immediately reprimanded. Plus, many directors despised the Disney girl label and refused to cast her in any serious projects.

That same year, 2017, Bella starred in the Netflix original thriller You Get Me and the slasher comedy The Babysitter, starring Samantha Weaving. A romantic drama Midnight Sun, starring Bella Thorne and Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Patrick Schwarzenegger premiered in March 2018. That August, Bella reportedly signed with Epic Records and started working on her debut album, What Do You See Now?, set for release by the end of 2018.

Fall 2018 saw Bella in a supporting role in a black comedy thriller Assassination Nation, where she worked alongside rising young actresses Odessa Young, Hari Nef, Suki Waterhouse and a singer Abra (Gabrielle Olivia Mirville).
