  "account": "Ella Bright, known for her role in the BBC drama Malory Towers, has been making waves in the acting world. The show is based on Enid Blyton's books and follows the life of Darrell Rivers at an all-girls boarding school in postwar England. Bright's portrayal of Darrell earned her a BAFTA nomination in 2022. Apart from Malory Towers, Bright has also appeared in TV series like Legends and the West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. She had a cameo in The Crown Season 6, where she played a young Kate Middleton crossing paths with Prince William and Princess Diana. Bright will be returning for Off Campus Season 2, alongside her co-star Garrett Graham. Although the main characters in the upcoming season are Allie and Dean, Bright and Graham will still interact with their friend group. Bright has also been cast in the indie biopic Gable, playing Olympic gold medalist wrestler Dan Gable's sister Diane.",
