Happy Birthday Millie Bobby Brown, here are the actress' 5 career-best performances that cannot be missed

February 19, 2024, marks the 20th birthday of the bubbly, young star Millie Bobby Brown. The young actress has been on a rocket to stardom since her debut as young Alice in ABC’S fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland in 2013. The starlet also got engaged last year to long-time beau Jake Bongiovi. Amid all these happy occurrences, it is time to let the actress celebrate in peacez, while we binge-watch her top five career-best performances.

Stranger Things (2016 – present)

Streaming on - Netflix

Stranger Things was the show that propelled Millie Bobby Brown into stardom and made her a household name. Starring as the psychokinetic girl who escaped from Hawkins lab, Eleven, Brown gave one of her career-best performances, growing from a child into a teen and now into a lady, on set. Her detached, confused, anguished portrayal of the lonely yet powerful character made her a favorite among audiences.

Enola Holmes (2020)

Streaming on - Netflix

Enola Holmes made us all yearn and internally scold Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for not being feminist enough to write on Holmes’ sister as well. Her rapport with eccentric yet empowering mother Eudoria, essayed by Helena Bonham Carter, is laud worthy. Millie Bobby Brown’s flawless execution of breaking the fourth wall, doing action scenes, and never being less than sharp and refreshing onscreen as Enola are what made the film so endearing to us.

Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019)

Streaming on - Prime Video

This film marks the feature debut of Millie Bobby Brown and needless to say, the young actress did equally well when faced with huge Titans, instead of the Upside Down and its monstrosities. In her role as the daughter of the lead scientists of the film, she faced deadly situations head on without showing fear or losing her mind. Brown executed the role to the T.

Intruders (2014)

Streaming on - Hulu

It is no mean feat to perform a character that is being torn apart internally and to do so successfully as a 10-year-old seems like a joke. But that is what Millie Bobby Brown does on the show as a 10-year-old kid. As Madison, her soul is trying to fight off the spirit of a serial killer, while he takes control at times and commits atrocities.

Damsel (2024)

Streaming on - Netflix (March 8, 2024, onwards)

This dark fantasy film had to come on the list as the trailer already holds a candle to the exceptional performance of Millie Bobby Brown as a damsel who needs no help. She can and will be fighting an enormous fire-breathing dragon and an entire kingdom’s royalty who are part of a secret cult that sacrifices young virgin princesses every generation.
