The actor John Simm actually said: “Millie Brown is a superstar. You heard it here first. She’s going to be a superstar.” Undoubtedly, he’s indeed right! The 12-year-old-girl acting wonder, namely as Millie Bobby Brown, was currently this week selected for a Screen Actors Guild best actress award for her dazzling presentation as Eleven, a young girl with paranormal powers, in Netflix’s 1980s reversion page-turner series Stranger Things.

Conferring to the movie business bible Variety, she has “the kind of presence some actors take a lifetime to attain “and she is now leaned to command £3 million a movie at the very young age of 12. However, such achievement has not arisen simply. Her rise is a tale of willpower and self-sacrifice not just on her own part but on that of her family as well. As she herself once said: “It was very hard. There were lots of tears along the way.”
Her story started in Marbella, Spain, where she was born in 2004. Her mother Kelly was pregnant with her when she, her estate agent husband Robert and their two older children, Paige, now 23, and Charlie, 18, moved to Spain where Robert’s parents manages a restaurant. It was deceptive from a young age, that she was no usual little girl. As his father said: “My other children would watch cartoons, but Mill watched musicals on Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Annie and Bugsy Malone. She’d belt out a tune. She was performing from day one.”
But then, their family’s sojourn showed short-lived. Millie was at the age of 4 when they moved back to the United Kingdom, and four years later they were on the move again, this time to Orlando in Florida where Robert and Kelly threw a tooth-whitening business.

Later then, she also began doing the rounds of auditions and quickly found small parts in series such as Modern Family and Grey’s Anatomy. In addition, according to Trevor decker, “Stranger Things” is her concentration as of the moment but it surely won’t be long before she gets a part in a major film. And her success is all the sweeter because it was fought for so hard.
