Millie Bobby Brown

Millie started debuted as Alice in the ABC fantasy drama ‘Once Upon a Time in Wonderland’ in 2013. Following this, she bagged the lead role of Madison O’Donnell in the BBC America paranormal drama-thriller series ‘Intruders.’ She also bagged small roles in popular sitcoms like ‘NCIS,' ‘Modern Family,’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ She catapulted into overnight stardom after appearing in the Netflix sci-fi drama ‘Stranger Things.’ Her portrayal of 'Eleven' (011) was unanimously acclaimed. Eleven is a young girl who has acquired psychokinetic powers as a result of some secret government experimentation program. She mysteriously appears in the sleepy little town of Hawkins, Indiana, and the story spins off from there. Makers of the show, Matt and Ross Duffer, were reportedly having a tough time casting for the character. “She has to convey many emotions with very little dialogue. Child actors, even the great ones, almost always have difficulty listening. They're able to deliver their lines well, but to stay fully in character in a scene when they're not talking… that's another skill set entirely." Their prayers were answered when Millie walked in! Rotten Tomatoes rates the series at 95%, and Steven Spielberg touted it as his favorite TV show. Her character in ‘Stranger Things’ has inspired much fan art, including tattoos. Fans even dressed up as 'Eleven' in the trademark pale pink sack dress this Halloween. #goldenglobes2017 ??? @strangerthingstv @netflix A video posted by Millie Bobby Brown (@milliebobby_brown) on Dec 12, 2016 at 6:03am PST

My other children would watch cartoons, but Millie watched musicals – ‘Chicago’, ‘Moulin Rouge,’ ‘Annie,’ and ‘Bugsy Malone.’ She was performing from day one.’ says Millie’s father, Robert Brown. The 12-year-old, with an adorable British accent, comes off as precocious, yet her big, beautiful eyes speak of her innocence. There is no doubt about her talent after she mastered the complex role of 'Eleven' with such elan. Like her onscreen avatar, she comes off as a caring person, which she says is the only thing she has in common with Eleven. A deceptively old soul, this young actress is being touted the latest “It” girl for all the right reasons. She already has graced the covers of two magazines,‘Interview Magazine,’ and ‘So It Goes.' She is emerging as a major fashionista although she confessed she “hates shopping.” The way she rocked the gorgeous Red Valentino embroidered tulle gown at the Emmy awards was an absolute treat. She handled the shearing off of her long stresses for the sake of her character in ‘Stranger Things’ like a Boss!! She absolutely rocks Nikki Minaj’s verse from ‘Monster’ at ‘The Tonight Show’ Starring Jimmy Fallon! Her rendition of ‘Uptown Funk’ at the 'Emmy Awards' left us wondering about a possible career in music for the cute actor. Her Eleven avatar wanders around neon-lit city streets lip syncing to ‘Find Me,’ the brand new single by British singer Birdy with DJ-duo Sigma. Wow! A HUGE thank you to the Screen Actors Guild for recognizing me and our incredible cast this morning. To be nominated alongside this group of actors is a dream come true! And thank you to Shawn Levy, the Duffers and Netflix for changing my life forever. I'm so grateful. A video posted by Millie Bobby Brown (@milliebobby_brown) on Dec 14, 2016 at 3:49pm PST

The down-to-earth actor admits that she never thought this much fame would happen to her. "It’s a pinch-me moment,” says Millie Bobby Brown. She shares a very close bond with her family and likes nothing better than a Sunday roast dinner followed by a film. Her elder brother manages her Twitter account while her elder sister is in charge of her Instagram. She admits that she can probably live without her phone. As a child she moved around a lot. She was born in Marbella, Spain, and has since lived in Bournemouth (England), Orlando (Florida, USA), and Vancouver (Canada). She practices Thai boxing every day and loves singing. Her favorite fashion brands are Burberry, Stella McCartney, and Coach. She shares a very special friendship with co-star Winona Ryder.
