Millie Bobby Brown: No Stranger to Success
米莉．芭比．布朗：好萊塢炙手可熱的新星

Although she is best known for her role in Netflix’s science fiction horror show Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown is much more than a one-trick pony. Just 17 years old, Brown has already starred in hit movies and TV shows, modeled for Calvin Klein, and appeared on Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people list. And those are just a few of her achievements.
Brown’s acting career began after her family moved from the UK to Florida, USA, when she was eight years old. Though she never took acting lessons, Brown was able to perfect an American accent by watching TV. She copied the accents she heard, despite the fact that she is deaf in one ear.
In 2013, she got her first on-screen acting role in the fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. But it was the role of the telekinetic child Eleven in season one of Stranger Things that gave Brown her big break. With her intense stare and brilliant physical acting, she took a part with only 250 words of dialogue and turned it into an award-winning performance. More recently, Brown produced and starred in the 2020 mystery film Enola Holmes and was featured in Godzilla vs. Kong earlier this year.
雖然米莉．芭比．布朗最有名的是在網飛科幻恐怖劇《怪奇物語》中飾演的角色，但她不僅僅是只能把一件事情做好的人。布朗才十七歲，已經主演了熱門電影和電視劇、擔任卡文克萊的模特兒，並且出現在《時代》雜誌百位最具影響力人物的名單上。那些只是她的一些成就而已。
布朗的演藝生涯從家人在她八歲時從英國搬到美國佛羅里達州後展開。雖然布朗從未上過表演課，但她能藉由看電視來精進美國口音。她模仿所聽到的口音，儘管她有一耳聽不見。
二○一三年，她在奇幻電視劇《童話小鎮—愛麗絲重遊仙境》中首次在螢幕上演出。但讓布朗獲得大好機會的是《怪奇物語》第一季中「11號」這個擁有念力小孩的角色。憑著充滿感情的凝視和出色的肢體表演，她接下一個只有兩百五十個字對白的角色，並且把它變成獲獎的表演。最近，布朗製作和主演了二○二○年的懸疑片《天才少女福爾摩斯》，並在今年初的《哥吉拉大戰金剛》中擔綱演出。

As an actor, Brown is used to spending a lot of time in the makeup chair. But to her surprise, no makeup brand had created a product for someone like herself. So in 2019, she launched Florence by Mills, a line of beauty products aimed specifically at Generation Z that prides itself on being cruelty-free. What’s more, she has decided to give part of the profits to a cancer charity in honor of her friend Olivia Hope LoRusso, who died of cancer in 2017.
Her passion for good causes can also be seen in her work for the United Nations agency UNICEF, which is responsible for providing aid to children. In 2018, Brown became UNICEF’s youngest ever Goodwill Ambassador. Since then, she has used her global platform to help raise awareness about children’s rights and issues around the world.
Fans of her work will be happy to hear that despite these “extracurricular” activities, Brown is certainly not ignoring acting. She has a number of new projects, including season four of Stranger Things and several big movies, in the pipeline. It really is hard to believe that this successful actor, businesswoman, and humanitarian is still not even 18!
作為演員，布朗習慣很多時間花在化妝椅上。但令她驚訝的是，沒有一個化妝品品牌為像她這樣的人打造產品。因此，在二○一九年，她推出了Florence by Mills，為一系列專為Z世代打造、以零殘忍為榮的美妝產品。此外，她決定將部分收益捐給一家癌症慈善機構，以紀念她的朋友奧莉薇亞．希望．洛魯索，她在二○一七年因癌症過世。
她對慈善事業的熱情也可以在她為聯合國機構兒童基金會的工作中見到，該機構負責提供兒童援助。二○一八年，布朗成為聯合國兒童基金會史上最年輕的親善大使。從那之後，她就利用自己的全球平台來幫助喚起人們對世界各地兒童權利和議題的意識。
喜歡她作品的影迷將會很高興聽到，儘管布朗從事這些「業餘的」活動，但她絕不會忽略表演工作。她有一些新的拍片計畫，包括《怪奇物語》第四季以及好幾部大片在籌劃中。真的很難相信這位成功的演員、實業家和慈善家甚至還沒十八歲！
