<p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">It was in New Zealand in 1991 that Paquin became an actress by chance. Director [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Campion Jane Campion] was looking for a little girl to play a key role in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Piano The Piano]'', set to film in New Zealand, and a newspaper advertisement was run announcing an open audition. Paquin's sister read the ad and went to try out with a friend; Paquin herself tagged along because she had nothing better to do. When Campion met Paquin—whose only acting experience had been as a skunk in a school play—she was very impressed with the nine-year-old's performance of the monologue about Flora's father, and she was chosen from among the 5000 candidates.</p>
