Sophia Lillis

Sophia Lillis, a sweet red-haired girl who looks more like a boy, woke up famous in the summer of 2017: a picture based on the impressive novel by Stephen King was released on the big screens of America. The most anticipated premiere of the year did not disappoint: director Anders Muschetti managed to convey the idea and atmosphere of the work of a horror genius, and the performer was able to successfully integrate into the character.

The details of the biography and personal life of the young star are still little known to journalists. Sofia was born in February 2002 in the New York area of ​​Crown Heights in a respectable family. He is on friendly terms with his half-brother Philip. The girl was raised by her stepfather, it was he who became a guide to the world of cinema. It all started with the shooting of a short film, which was filmed by his stepfather.

Few saw the picture, but were impressed by the girl's game, like her parents. At the family council, it was decided that acting talent certainly requires development, so Sofia ended up in the studio of the Lee Strasberg Institute of Theater and Film in Manhattan. At the school, the still "raw" actress was noticed by one of the teachers and recommended to her New York friend, who was filming her thesis.

After filming in the film that has already collected millions of dollars, Sofia returned to her former life as an ordinary teenager. Soon she was to plunge into school everyday life. On this occasion, jokes that in conversations on the topic "How I spent the summer" will have to talk about an unforgettable hide and seek from the evil clown.

The main character of "horror" was not interested in social networks before, but after the project they took a firm place in her life. He actively maintains Instagram, at one time it was dominated by black and white photos. This fact is explained by the fact that even while working in "It" she took a professional camera from her stepfather and fell in love with this shooting mode. Sophia started a Twitter page, but she didn’t like the resource.

At the school where the girl studied, there is a theater studio, in which she improved her singing talent and dancing skills. His hobbies include playing the piano, drawing (although he admits being restless, spending time with a pencil in his hands does not last long). Among the idols of the young actress are Bill Murray and Steve Martin.

The shooting summer of 2016 was reflected in Lillis's circle of friends, he was replenished with her "fellow-losers" in the film, with whom she spent several months side by side in real time. Jaden Martell, Jack Grazer, Finn Wolfard - they keep in close contact with everyone, the guys correspond on the Internet, congratulate each other on their birthdays by phone.

The filmography of the girl does not yet shine with variety, however, she still has everything ahead, with such data she will quickly gain weight in the cinema, critics and senior colleagues are sure. For the first time in a full-length movie she played in 2014, she got a role in Shakespeare's film adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is interesting that films with Sofia's participation, with rare exceptions, have a "dark" plot.

For example, the film "37", filmed in 2016 based on a real story, took a worthy place in American cinema. The multi-figured drama tells about the murder of a girl, witnessed by 37 people.

Lillis admitted to reporters that she does not understand why she is pursued by "terrible" topics. For her, this is a new side of life. After all, childhood, which, in fact, continues, is happy - with loving parents, friends, great opportunities for realization.

And here is the fateful role of Beverly Marsh. A frail girl with a height of 1.52 m and a weight of 45 kg, with short red hair and a face covered with freckles, like no one better suited the image of a comrade-in-arms of a gang of juvenile outcasts awaiting a nightmarish summer in the fight against an evil creature.

Sophia's candidacy was not immediately accepted by the producers. They insisted that the heroine have feminine features, and not look like a "kid." But the director of the project cheated by inviting an actress with long hair to the decisive tests. A short haircut appeared with her later, in the course of the development of the plot.

Young actors did not see the scary clown until the filming of their scenes; as the director intended, the horror should be genuine. Lillis admits that the character undoubtedly caused fear. But there was no trace of him when Bill Skarsgård in Pennywise's make-up said sweetly: "Hello, how are you?"

The process of filming and what the viewer saw on the screen are different things, the set was full of people. The guys - Jaden Martell, Finn Wolfard, Jack Grazer, Wyatt Oleff - felt safe. The work in Sofia's picture was easy, colleagues helped and suggested how to correctly play this or that scene.

It is interesting that already in the first full-length work, the actress had to be naked: in the scene of swimming on the lake, the girl appeared in front of the audience in a swimsuit.

The actress watched the adaptation of It twice. The premiere brought together not only representatives of the film crew and actors, relatives and close friends, but also acquaintances from school, neighbors, friends of parents.

The girl told the WWD correspondent that her nerves were at the limit, all the more she was taken aback when she saw her face from the big screen - she did not represent her image that way. Despite her young age, Sofia Lillis already gives advice to aspiring actors, which, however, will suit the layman:

The girl is sure that novice actors are required to acquire as many skills as possible and not spare time for this. For the role of Beverly, she had to learn to roller-skate, in a week to learn the basics of cheerleading.

In 2018, viewers again saw Sofia on the screen, only this time not in a cinema, but on televisions. Immediately after filming "It", the actress received an offer to participate in the HBO television series Sharp Objects. She played Camilla Pricker in her youth, the role of the adult protagonist went to Amy Adams.

Lillis is gaining ratings as a talented and in-demand actress. It is interesting that for her participation in the film "It" the girl received a fee of $ 65 thousand, while in the new project her earnings amounted to $ 50 thousand per episode.

Lillis' plans for the future are related to her acting career. Hopefully the next role will be "less depressing", in a movie with a pleasing storyline. She dreams of starring with her favorite directors Whit Stillman and Wes Anderson. According to the actress, they can be safely ranked among the geniuses of cinema.

The list of works in the actress's repertoire for 2019 has expanded. The name of the talented performer is increasingly appearing in the news of the cinema. Sofia starred in the second part of the horror "It", where her fee was already $ 150 thousand. She played the main character in the comedy detective "Nancy Drew and the Secret Staircase." Lillis appeared on the screen as an inquisitive teenager, who begins her own investigation of mysterious incidents in the house of an elderly friend.
