Early life

New was born in Balham, London,[2][3] and is the youngest of three sisters. At the age of four, she attended a ballet school.

New featured in a Spanish movie playing alongside David Hasselhoff in the film Brain Dead 2 in 2011.[8]

New was managed by Castro until 2012, the year she joined the cast of the Starz TV show Black Sails.[1] She plays Eleanor Guthrie, the daughter of Richard Guthrie, a saloon owner who runs her father's illegal businesses in Nassau. The 8-episode first season premièred on 25 January 2014, and in 2014 she was filming the second season in South Africa. New featured in all four seasons of the show which was televised until 2017.[9][10][11] As well as acting, New found time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for the Intyatyambo Community Project charity in 2015, and also taught English to school children in Khayelitsha during her time off from filming the TV series Black Sails.[12][3]
