Millicent Simmonds is a fighter. The breakout star of A Quiet Place is known for battling alien monsters as Regan in the horror-thriller film series, but it’s another courageous act that’s setting the 19-year-old Deaf actor apart from her peers. Namely, the fight for a more inclusive society and entertainment industry, especially when it comes to authentic Deaf representation on the big and small screens.
And, despite her tender age, Simmonds’ advocacy for the Deaf community and acting talents are starting to be fully recognized. The 2021 Hollywood Critics Association’s Midseason Best Actress winner is among the 2022 BAFTA EE Rising Star award nominees – an achievement Simmonds describes as “really overwhelming”. Not only that, but Simmonds is already taking on dual actor-producer roles in True Biz, an upcoming TV adaptation of Sara Nović’s book of the same name. Add in her roles in the recently announced A Quiet Place 3 and Helen & Teacher – a movie adaptation of Joseph Lash’s biography about iconic Deaf author and activist Helen Keller – and Simmonds’ star is certainly on the rise.
