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.

Bella's striking looks come from her diverse heritage: her father was Cuban (died in 2007 in a traffic accident) and her mother is Italian, with some Irish, English, Welsh, and German descent.

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.

The young star's mental health was severely impacted by physical and emotional abuse she suffered from childhood until age 14. Bella came out with this information only in 2018 and up to this day refuses to say the name of her abuser.

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.

Bella Thorne made her film debut in 2003, with a supporting role in the comedy Stuck on You, starring Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear and Eva Mendes. She continued building her resume with appearances in various movies and TV shows, including a comedy-drama Entourage and teen drama series The O.C. In 2007, Bella received her first relatively big role in a prime time drama series Dirty Sexy Money, revolving around a lawyer and his family. The young actress appeared in four episodes.

The next year, she landed a leading role in a television drama series My Own Worst Enemy, alongside Christian Slater and Taylor Lautner. Playing the main character's daughter became Bella's true breakthrough, earning her a Young Artist Award, but her biggest break was still ahead.

In 2009, Thorne portrayed a revenge-seeking villain Angela in a supernatural horror film Forget Me Not opposite Carly Schroeder. The following year, Bella landed a starring role in Disney Channel's sitcom Shake It Up! – and the red-haired star's life changed forever.

Bella played CeCe Jones, an aspiring dancer with big dreams. Her best friend, Rocky Blue, was portrayed by the amazing Zendaya. Bella later revealed she didn't actually pursue the role – she simply had to audition because her family needed the money.

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.

Soon Bella Thorne was officially signed to the record label Hollywood Records and in 2013 announced her debut album with 11 songs. Bella mentioned that she was highly influenced by Britney Spears, Kesha, and iconic girl band Destiny's Child. However, two years later, she revealed the album was scrapped because she wasn't happy with how it turned out.

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.
