Willow Shields from the category of those actresses about whom it is customary to say that they woke up famous. Despite her young age, the girl can already boast that she starred in one of the most popular sci-fi franchises and continues to star in popular projects known not only in America but also around the world.
early years
Willow was born in 2000 in the city of Albuquerque. This is a relatively small town where it was difficult to succeed, because the most popular industries in the state of New Mexico are agriculture and various small businesses. Willow has a twin sister, Outem, so she was never bored as a child. The girls also spent a lot of time with their older brother River and their parents - Carrie and Rob.
The family often talked about art, so Willow grew up with thoughts of creativity, but for a long time the girl did not know which industry she should go to in order to fully realize her potential. Father Willow Shields still works as an art teacher, and his daughter also began to get involved in this, but, in turn, took a different path. She chose not art history, but acting, which surprised her parents, but they supported their daughter in every possible way, accompanied at the auditions and sent out photographs of the girl.
The debut of Willow Shields on the big screen was when the girl was only nine years old in the melodrama "In a Simple Form", where she played the episodic character Lisa Rogan. After that, the girl could not imagine her life without an acting career.
Carier start
After an episodic role in the melodrama, Willow Shields starred in a couple of projects, but no large-scale proposals were received to her. She starred in a couple of episodic roles, but then decided to try herself on the big screen. At that time, the dystopian genre began to gain momentum in Hollywood, and getting into one of the franchises was very prestigious. Willow went to a casting in a new project. And she received the coveted role.
Together with his sister, Willow's older brother, River, began to try his hand at cinema. He starred in a pair of short films and feature films.
The Hunger Games
A few years ago, the whole world was “sick” with teenage dystopias. This genre has become popular and rapidly developed in Hollywood. And Willow understood that. Therefore, I decided to try myself in a casting in one new franchise, which promised to become popular.
Often the girl is asked if she starred in the popular twilight saga, but Willow Shields in “Twilight” never starred. Willow starred in the popular Hunger Games franchise, where she played the main character's sister, Primrose Everdeen. It was this role that gave a big impetus to the girl’s career.
When Willow was approved for the role, she did not believe her happiness. She needed to take part in four films and star with popular actors. Long shootings, numerous press tours and world fame - all this made Willow a popular actress, to which famous directors began to pay attention. Many film critics noted her amazing game, and how much the young actress got used to the image. Thanks to this, Shields has become one of the most promising young American actresses.
