Looking at the actress’s great career, it appears that she has always sought to grow as an actress. However, this is not the case. She began studying ballet at the age of four in order to become a professional gymnast. However, after undergoing spinal surgery, she abandoned her dream and chose the profession she is now in.
According to Gwendoline,
“I had been over-coached.” But I was also growing at a breakneck pace. My body determined that was the end of it. And I was told I’d never be able to dance again.”
Christie was “obsessed” with becoming a gymnast, but her physical condition at the time could not support her. “They strained all the muscles” in her back, she said, and she was instructed to quit exercising or she wouldn’t be able to bear a kid. Her thoughts suddenly turned and she considered becoming an actress.
