Millie Bobby Brown plays Eleven in “Stranger Things,” the mysterious girl with psychokinetic powers who becomes central to the fight against the Upside Down.
Eleven first appears after escaping Hawkins National Laboratory, where Dr. Martin Brenner raised and tested children with unusual abilities. Her shaved head, sparse vocabulary, and hospital gown make her arrival especially memorable, but the character gradually develops a strong personality and deep friendships with Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, and Will Byers.
“Eleven” is not her birth name. She was identified in the laboratory as test subject 011, commonly written as Eleven or 011. Her birth name is Jane Ives, and she later uses Jane Hopper after Jim Hopper becomes her adoptive father.
A common mix-up is confusing Brown with another major Stranger Things actor. Brown plays Eleven, while Sadie Sink plays Max Mayfield, Winona Ryder plays Joyce Byers, and David Harbour plays Jim Hopper. Brown’s performance made Eleven one of the series’ defining characters and earned her major award nominations.
