Let’s take a look at Brown’s resume and look back on her best roles so far.

About Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown was born in Spain to English parents on February 19, 2004. She was born with partial hearing in one ear, and despite years of tubes, she is now completely deaf in one ear. 

She began her career appearing in small roles in a variety of popular TV series, almost giving up after getting rejected for the Game of Thrones role Lady Lyanna Mormont. 

But once she appeared in Stranger Things, she became an American sensation.

In addition to starring in and producing films, she was named on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world in 2018. That same year, she was appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador: the youngest person chosen at that time.

In 2019, she launched her beauty brand “Florence by Mills,” which is available at the UK pharmacy Boots.

Millie Bobby Brown’s Rising Star

Once she made her mark in Stranger Things, it’s been non-stop success for the star. Here are her current TV and film projects.

Stranger Things

Millie Bobby Brown plays the character Eleven in the Netflix series Stranger Things. 

In Stranger Things Season 1, Millie Bobby Brown had less than 250 words of dialogue to work with. Additionally, her character was supposed to die at the end of the season as a sacrifice to save her friends. However, when the show got greenlit for more seasons so it wouldn’t be stuck as a limited run, they decided to keep the character.

This turned out to be a wise decision, as Brown has had nothing but success with her role as Eleven.

She received two Primetime Emmy Award nominations and two Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series; she’s among the youngest women ever nominated for the award.

Godzilla: King of Monsters & Godzilla vs Kong

Brown’s very first major film was Godzilla: King of Monsters in which she played Madison Russell, daughter of Dr. Mark Russell and Dr. Emma Russell. Emma and Madison get abducted by eco-terrorists at the beginning of the movie, and after Mark tries to find his daughter and ex-wife, it’s revealed that Emma is also an eco-terrorist.

Brown reprises the role of Madison in the following sequel.

Enola Holmes

Millie Bobby Brown takes center stage as the titular character in this Netflix film. She holds her own among big names like Helena Bonham Carter and Henry Cavill as she plays Enola, the younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes.

When her mother goes missing, Sherlock and Mycroft assume responsibility for their young sister and expect her to go to finishing school. Enola instead adventures out to follow the clues to her mother’s disappearance, becoming an even bigger sleuth than her famous brother.
