Childhood

Maisie Williams is the fourth child and the first girl in the family. The future actress's mother, Hillary Williams, who worked at the University of Bristol, divorced her husband soon after her daughter's birth. The girl had to get used to her stepfather and move to the county of Somerset.

Maisie was an active and cheerful child, and since childhood, she has been keen on performing arts. The girl was so passionate about dancing that she convinced her mother to send her to the Susan Hill dance school, a special institution for those who saw dancing as more than just a hobby. Teachers at the school immediately recognized this energetic girl's talent and predicted a bright future for her.

She was also involved in gymnastics and trampoline, but let's focus on the hobbies that led to Maisie Williams' acting career. It was dancing that ultimately determined her actress's career. Soon after the start of classes, the girl was sent to a contest in Paris. From there, she brought back not only experience of great value but also her own agent Louise Johnston. It was she who advised the young artistic dancer to try her hand at a real movie.

Start of acting career

Maisie's first step as a budding actress was auditioning for the movie "My Terrible Nanny 2." Few expected the girl without formal training to succeed, but Maisie's persistence got her to the final round, where she was ultimately beaten by young Lil Woods.

No doubt it was frustrating to lose when she was so close to winning, but that setback led Maisie Williams to audition for an ambitious series, which, incidentally, gave a chance to other novice actors: Kit Harington and Sophie Turner.

"Game of Thrones"

Casting for "Game of Thrones" had five stages, but Maisie in the role of Arya, the youngest daughter of Sean Bean's character, was so liked by producers and casting director that she was approved for the role almost immediately.

Arya's screen portrayal, as one of the saga's main characters, proved both vibrant and faithful to the book. This earned Maisie not only glowing fan reviews but also numerous nominations and awards: the BBC Radio Award for the best young actress in the UK, the Saturn Award for the best young actress in the television series, as well as the "Golden Bear" of the Berlin Film Festival.

The sudden breakthrough didn't go to her head – instead, it made her throw herself into her work with even more passion and dedication. Maisie continued to polish her acting skills. Living up to those expectations and maintaining such high standards isn't easy, but the young actress has risen to the challenge beautifully.

Arya is a tough character and a rebel. After the series premiered, that image stuck – Maisie's performance was just that convincing. She also landed roles as troubled teens in the major films "Heatstroke" and "Gold."

It turned out the Game of Thrones star had been dating Olli Jackson since early 2015. He's not in the public eye - they've known each other since school. "It's amazing how hostile everyone gets when someone famous dates a regular person. But that's just how it is, and I don't want to be with anyone else," Maisie once said about the challenges of celebrity life.
