Millie Bobby Brown is a British-American actress and producer, born on February 19, 2004, in Marbella, Spain. She grew up in Dorset, England, before moving to Orlando, Florida, with her family at the age of 12. Brown's acting career began when she was just 8 years old, appearing in small roles in television shows and advertisements.

Brown's breakout role came in 2013 when she was cast as Eleven in the Netflix science fiction series "Stranger Things." The show, set in the 1980s, follows a group of young friends in a small Indiana town who uncover a series of supernatural mysteries. Brown's portrayal of Eleven, a telekinetic girl with a shaved head and a traumatic past, was widely praised for her emotional depth and physicality.

Since "Stranger Things," Brown has continued to act in both film and television, including the Godzilla sequel "Godzilla: King of the Monsters," the Enola Holmes mystery series, and the fantasy adventure "The Thousand-Year-Old Vampire." She has also produced and starred in the Netflix series "Enola Holmes," based on the novels by Nancy Springer.

Brown's acting abilities have earned her numerous accolades, including a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for "Stranger Things," and a People's Choice Award for The Drama TV Star of 2019. She has also been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

Off-screen, Brown is known for her activism and philanthropy. She is a UNICEF ambassador and has worked to raise awareness and funds for various causes, including children's rights and mental health. She is also an advocate for people with disabilities and has spoken publicly about her own experiences with dyspraxia, a developmental coordination disorder.

Brown's personal life is largely private, but she is known to be close friends with her "Stranger Things" co-stars, including Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, and Gaten Matarazzo. She has also been in a relationship with Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock star Jon Bon Jovi, since 2021.

Brown's unique name comes from her parents' nicknames for her. Her mother's nickname was Millie, and her father's was Bobby, so they combined the two to create Millie Bobby Brown. Despite her young age, Brown has already made a significant impact on the entertainment industry and continues to be a rising star.
