The young actress Sophia Lillis became famous for her role in the horror film It. This film was released in 2017 and had extremely high ratings. At the moment, the most anticipated horror films featuring the actress are It 2 and Gretel and Hansel, which are due out in 2019.
The young red-haired actress Sofia (Sophia) Lillis is familiar to the public for her roles in dark and even frightening films. To date, the filmography of the artist has less than ten projects.
Facts from the biography of the actress
Sophia Lillis was born in 2002, on February 13. The birthplace of the artist is the Crown Heights area, which is located in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Sofia has a brother, Jake, with whom they are twins. The girl's mother and father quickly divorced, because Sofia was raised by her stepfather. She also has a half-brother named Philip.
Sophia's acting talent, oddly enough, was first considered by her stepfather. He is shooting amateur films, so at one point he invited the girl to play a small role in his short film. Sofia gladly accepted such an offer. The picture, of course, did not get into the world distribution, and the title of this work is not known for certain. However, it was precisely this experience of shooting in amateur cinema that pushed little Sophia towards the dream of becoming an actress. As a result, her parents sent her to study in an acting studio attached to the Institute of Film and Theater.
Acting is not Sofia's only hobby, the girl generally gravitates very much towards various creativity. She draws, takes musical lessons, dances and sings. While educated at school, Sofia also studied in the school drama club. The young person is also attracted by sports. She is studying professional roller skating.
Filmography of the young actress
Sofia Lillis made her full-fledged debut on the set in 2013. She performed one of the roles in the student film. After that, in 2014, the aspiring actress was invited to the Midsummer Night's Dream project. This movie is an adaptation of the world famous work of Shakespeare.
The next work in big cinema for Sofia was the role in the film "37". This dark and dramatic film was filmed based on real events.
The success and fame of the girl was brought by participation in the full-length famous horror film "It". Here she got one of the central roles: Sofia played Beverly Marsh. This horror was released in the fall of 2017. For her acting, Lillis was nominated for MTV and Saturn Awards for Best Young (Aspiring) Movie and Television Actress.
A year later, the young artist was invited to join the caste of the Sharp Objects television project. This show is airing on HBO. At the moment, work on this project is the last in the career of Sofia Lillis. However, at the post-production level and setting the release date, there are several more films with her.
So in 2019, the second part of the horror film "It" should be released. The plot of this story will be centered on adult characters, but Sofia and other children who starred in the first part of the franchise should also appear in the tape as part of flashbacks. In addition, the release date of the movie "Nancy Drew and the Secret Staircase", where Lillis got the leading role, has been set for the current year.
In the future, three more films should be released, in which the young actress managed to star: "Gretel and Hansel" (autumn 2019), where Sofia again performed the leading female role, "The Burning Season" and "Before I Sleep" (tentatively premiere due in 2020).
Personal life and relationships
Despite her antipathy to many social networks, Sophia Lillis is on Instagram. There she is quite active in her profile, publishing photographs. Now another hobby has appeared in her life - photographing black and white photos. I must say that the artist was also pushed to such creative self-expression by her stepfather, who presented Lillis with a professional camera.
There is no need to talk about whether there is a romantic relationship in Sofia's life. She is still too young and is more focused on the education and development of her acting path.
