Netflix Movies Starring Millicent Simmonds

Millicent (Millie) Simmonds is an actress from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania best known for Wonderstruck (2017), A Quiet Place (2018), and A Quiet Place Part II (2020). Millicent was born in Bountiful, Utah, and at a young age began performing and telling stories in American Sign Language. She joined the theater and drama club at her elementary school but never believed she could be an actress professionally because she had never seen deaf characters like her in film or television. In 2016 her drama teacher received an email with a casting call for a young deaf actress for the role of Rose in a film adaption of Brian Selznick's Wonderstruck and encouraged Millie to try out. Millie sent in a one-take audition that brought the film's director Todd Haynes to tears. Millicent and Wonderstruck made their debut at Cannes and the New York Film Festival. Read more on iMDB
