With her stunning performance as Eleven in “Stranger Things,” Millie Bobby Brown quickly shot to stardom last year, landing magazine covers, fashion campaigns and even a major modelling contract. And now, the 13-year-old makes another career breakthrough by winning the best actor in a show award at the 2017 MTV Movie and TV Awards. Receiving her first-ever Golden Popcorn, the young starlet had a hard time holding her tears back when delivering her acceptance speech. “I want to thank the cast and crew for being my second family,” she said. “You guys, I love you.” Of course, the actress gave a shoutout to the Duffer Brothers. “They’ve created a badass, female, iconic character that I’ve got the honor to play.” The socially-conscious 13-year-old stepped onstage wearing two political pins, one blue ribbon recognizing the American Civil Liberties Union, and a light blue ampersand pin to honor the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Together movement. The actress was joined in her fashion statement by her “Stranger Things” co-stars, who also donned blue ampersands. (SD-Agencies) 10 fun facts about Millie Bobby Brown 1.
