Early life

Garrido was born in Madrid in 1989, in a family with a clear artistic vocation: Her father, Tomás Garrido is a composer and orchestra conductor, her mother, Pilar Sánchez, is a painter.[1][2] She took her first piano classes when she was only four years old and soon after she started practicing ballet.[1] She speaks English thanks to having an English-speaking best friend growing up.[3]

After ending her high school studies, she enrolled herself in the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático, in Madrid, she took interpretation until her third year, specializing in textual interpretation, but she dropped out in 2010 because she was cast for the film Planes para mañana.[1] This role earned her the Biznaga de Plata for best actress[4] and a Goya Awards nomination in the best breakthrough actress category among other nominations.
