Millie Bobby Brown

Background

Millie Bobby Brown was born on February 19, 2004, in Marbella, Andalusia, Spain. Brown has grown to become one of the most influential teens of our time. She rose to prominence for her role in “Stranger Things,” a Netflix science fiction horror series. For this role, she earned a Primetime Emmy Award Nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at only 13. She also became the youngest person to feature on the TIME 100 list.

She is the daughter of Robert and Kelly Brown. She is the third of four children. Her family moved to Bournemouth, Dorset when she was four years old. Later, Brown and her family relocated to Orlando, Florida where Millie went to acting workshops to pass time on the weekends. This is where she met a top Hollywood talent scout who advised Brown’s parents that “she has instincts you can not teach” and that she could make it big in Hollywood. They took her advice, packed up, and drove from Orlando to Los Angeles. Within a week, she was meeting with the top children’s talent agencies. After three months she was finally cast to play Alice, in the fantasy drama series, “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland,” a spin-off of “Once Upon a Time.“

This role opened up doors for her acting career, and in a few years, she was offered roles in several projects. She has also appeared in a few commercial advertisements and drama series.
