Born Annabella Avery Thorne on October 8, 1997 in Pembroke Pines, Florida, Bella has been in the spotlight since she a baby as a child model. Now dancing and acting up a storm as “Cece Jones” as an aspiring young dancer in the Disney Channel original series “Shake It Up!”, we can’t wait to see where her career take her next!

Model Baby
Bella’s first modeling job was when she was only 6 weeks old! A natural in the spotlight, she went on to book television ads for KFC, Target, Barbie, Guess, Sears and many more! She says that she got rejected for a lot more roles than she got but her family helped her get over any disappointment!
From Television to Movies!
In 2003, when Bella was only 6 years old, she got her first movie role in the film “Stuck On You” as a fan on the sidelines. She went on to get roles on shows like the OC, Entourage and even starred with Christian Slater and Taylor Lautner in a drama called “My Own Worst Enemy” where she won a Young Artists Award.
Bella’s Style
Her signature long auburn hair is her best accessory and she wears it long, loose and undone to accent her quirky fashion sense! Even at the young age of 14, she isn’t afraid to let her personality shine through when she gets dressed for events. Wearing a ballerina tutu to a movie premiere, a shiny pink jacket with a red t-shirt or a feather skirt, it all works because she wears it with loads of confidence!
