In the much-acclaimed horror thriller A Quiet Place, she
starred alongside John Krasinski and Emily Blunt as part
of a farming family who is hiding from a supernatural
force. Because the entity is attracted to sound, they
must stay as quiet as possible and use sign language to
communicate.
• She enjoys kickboxing and would have been a
firefighter had the acting bug not bit.
• Her favourite subject is history. Philosophy fascinates
her, too.
• Her best-loved movie is Paper Moon.
She has been nominated several times to several
ceremonies like Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best
Young Performer, Florida Film Circle’s Pauline Kael
Breakout Award, Seattle Film Critics Society Award for
Best Youth Performance, Washington D.C Area Film
Critics Association Award for Best Youth Performance,
and Women Film Critics Circle Award for Best Young
Actress.
