===Early life===

Born in [[Donnybrook, Western Australia|Donnybrook]], [[Western Australia]] to Desrae Hughes, a [[Māori]] mother and Tim Castle, an [[England|English]]-[[Australia]]n father, Castle-Hughes was four years old when her family moved to New Zealand; her parents (who had never married) later separated. Castle-Hughes became a New Zealand citizen in 2001. She has three younger brothers and a younger sister. Her siblings include Rhys(15), Liam(11),Maddisyn(6), and Qayde (11 months).She is currently living in Papakura, Auckland and was once a student of Penrose High School, and Rosehill College, both in Auckland.

===Career===

On February 2, 2007, Gillespie was named manager of the [[NY-Penn League]] [[Staten Island Yankees]]. He is replacing [[Gaylen Pitts]] who lead the baby bombers to their second consecutive NY-Penn League Championship.

On [[January 27]], [[2004]], Castle-Hughes became the youngest female ever nominated for the [[Academy Awards]]' [[Academy Award for Best Actress|Oscar for Best Actress]], for her portrayal of Paikea Apirana (Pai) in the [[independent film]] ''[[The Whale Rider|Whale Rider]]''. Despite not having had any previous acting experience, the then 13-year-old actress went directly from her Auckland classroom to the set when the film began shooting in New Zealand in [[2002]] and received widespread critical acclaim for her performance. She soon followed the role by appearing in [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]'s controversial music video for his song "[[Cinnamon Girl (Prince song)|Cinnamon Girl]]" and with a shoot in ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'' magazine. In [[2004]], Castle-Hughes was invited to join the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]].<ref>http://www.oscars.org/press/pressreleases/2004/04.06.28.html</ref>

Castle-Hughes' most recent film roles were as [[Apailana|Queen Apailana]] in ''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith]]'' and the [[Mary, the mother of Jesus|Virgin Mary]] in ''[[The Nativity Story]]'', released in 2006. ''[[New York Times]]'' critic A. O. Scott said that she "seems entirely unfazed by the demands of playing Mary. She has the poise and intelligence to play the character not as an icon of maternity, but rather as a headstrong,

thoughtful adolescent transformed by an unimaginable responsibility."
