How was Zyra’s Experience Playing Izzy in “La Brea”?

During an interview, Gorecki described her experience working with David Applebaum as marvelous. She said, “I think amputees, as a realized amputee, you have a different headspace already to play an amputee character, right? And you face those occasions, and you understand what it’s like, but also, Izzy has this ability to be unguarded, and I am less limited. But I think what helped was being on set and just feeling all your emotions.”

 

How Zyra Gorecki Lost her Leg?

On July 4, 2002, Zyra Gorecki (age 20) was born in Michigan, USA, to her father, Steve, and mother, Barb Gorecki. Many do not know that Zyra’s mom is a cancer survivor; she beat breast cancer. The actress has a younger sister named Bailee, who is as beautiful as Zyra.

Gorecki’s first acting experience was when she was in the secondary standard. The young girl had to play the role of a queen, but performing in front of people caused her to develop stage fear. According to Amplitude, at 13 actress lost one of her legs due to a logging mishappening.

During an interview with Photobookmagazine, Zyra claimed that she originally intended to model, so she met an agent, Debra Pappas (Bravo Talent Management), who felt she’d be excellent at acting and sent her to auditions.

Despite suffering through a severe tragedy, she stayed positive and worked to become an actress.

 

Career
