Acting Career

In 2013, 9-year-old Millie made her acting debut in the fantasy series "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," playing young Alice across two episodes. The adult version of the main character was played by Australian actress Sophie Lowe.
I started acting at age 9 – not quite a child anymore. I believe acting isn't as challenging as, say, dancing, which requires tons of practice. It comes naturally to me. If it doesn't, you can always go to acting school. But the film industry nowadays is really looking for kids with «natural» talent.
The next year, the young actress snagged the lead role in BBC's supernatural drama "Intruders." Millie portrayed Madison O'Donnell – a 9-year-old girl haunted by disturbing nightmares and excruciating headaches after encountering a mysterious stranger on the beach.

Brown then appeared in episodes of the crime comedy "NCIS," family sitcom "Modern Family," and medical drama "Grey's Anatomy"
In 2016, the young actress was offered one of the leading roles in Netflix's new supernatural thriller "Stranger Things," created by the Duffer Brothers. After just one audition, Brown landed the role of Eleven, daughter of Terry Ives (played by Amy Mullins), a girl with incredibly powerful psychic abilities. Fate brings her together with a group of friends her own age investigating the mysterious disappearance of their buddy.

For the role, Millie had to shave her head. On set, she had the chance to work with Winona Ryder and David Harbour, as well as rising stars Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin.

The show's creators were amazed by Millie's performance. Unlike most child actors, she quickly adapted to camera angles and filming conditions. The crew often forgot she was only 11 during filming of the first season, but her childlike nature sometimes showed through. Once, Brown showed up on set completely covered in glitter. When asked where it came from, she said, "I have no idea." It took about an hour to get the young actress cleaned up.

For her outstanding performance, Brown was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series. She competed for the prestigious award against actresses Thandie Newton, Winona Ryder, and Robin Wright, but the award went to Claire Foy for her role in "The Crown." Brown was also nominated for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, but the award was won by Ann Dowd (Aunt Lydia from "The Handmaid's Tale").

Nevertheless, Millie and her co-stars won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series, beating seasoned performers from popular shows like "Downton Abbey," "Game of Thrones," and "Westworld."

The series, echoing David Lynch's cult classic "Twin Peaks," became a sensation that wowed both audiences and critics. People started comparing Millie to Natalie Portman – their looks, brilliant early career starts, and even their shaved heads (though Portman shaved hers much later, at 25).

In November 2016, Brown appeared in the music video for Sigma and Birdy's single "Find Me." She also became the face of an advertising campaign for Citigroup, one of the world's largest financial giants.

Around the same time, Millie was up for the role of Laura Kinney, or X-23 – Wolverine's genetic daughter in the movie "Logan." However, the role went to Dafne Keen.

Millie often watched her veteran colleagues and listened to directors. But her playful side sometimes came out:
I'd sneak rubber rats into everyone's fridges, put cockroaches in food, and scatter tiny bright balls on trailer floors – they're impossible to pick up and so annoying! I was lucky to work with such easy-going people. Eventually, everyone on set started pranking each other
Another major project for Millie was the detective film "Enola Holmes," which premiered on Netflix in 2020. It also marked her producer debut. It all began when Millie's sister, Paige, became obsessed with Nancy Springer's books about Sherlock Holmes' niece, Enola.

Millie fell in love with the books too and was eager to adapt them. Together with her father, she pitched the project to Legendary Pictures, which got the green light thanks to its timely theme of gender equality. The actress not only starred in the lead role but also got involved behind the scenes with casting and screenplay writing. She has fond memories of working with Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter, who portrayed Enola's mother.

She was later rumored to be dating rugby player Joseph Robinson. In 2020, she began dating TikToker Hunter "Echo" Echimovich. While Millie never officially confirmed the relationship, Hunter openly talked about living at her house for 8 months, which sparked public outrage given their age gap—she was 16 and he was 20.
