Sophia Lillis Facts

1. Although she has made her name by playing dark and depressed child characters, she had a nice childhood and didn’t have anything to draw on in preparations for her roles.
2. When the producers of It first saw her, they thought she wasn’t girly enough for the role. However, the director Andy Muschietti wanted her for the role, so he flew her back to Toronto and got her in a girly ensemble for another audition in front of the producers.

8. She started acting at the age of 7 after her step-father cast her in his film class project, Virgil’s Day Off, which was a short film based on Dante’s Inferno.
