Claim
At age 17, she was scouted as a model by Storm Management founder Sarah Doukas
Correction
Multiple interviews say Anya Taylor-Joy was scouted by Sarah Doukas at 16, not 17.
Full reasoning
This sentence gets Taylor-Joy's age wrong.
Two reputable profile/interview sources state that Sarah Doukas discovered Anya Taylor-Joy when she was 16:
- In Marie Claire UK (2019), the profile says she was "scouted on the street at 16 by Sarah Doukas from Storm Models."
- In The Standard (2018), Taylor-Joy's interview says she was "spotted by Sarah Doukas of Storm ... when she was 16."
Because both sources specifically give her age as 16 at the time she was discovered, the article's statement that this happened "at age 17" is contradicted by published biographical interviews and should be corrected to 16.
