5 actresses who could replace Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie in Halloween

Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown might not have as long of an acting resume as Jenna Ortega, but she’s just as talented. The 19-year-old British actress is best known for her breakout role in Stranger Things, where she plays the remarkable and complex Eleven. Brown has been absolutely fantastic in the part and she gets better with each season, showing off her range of talent. She is truly the best part of the series and I don’t think anyone else could play the character as well as she does.

Prior to Stranger Things, Brown appeared in a few shows like Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Intruders, NCIS, Modern Family, and Grey’s Anatomy, but of course, she did not become a household name until her debut in the Netflix sci-fi phenomenon. She’s been nominated for two Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Eleven, and I’m sure the prestigious award nominations won’t end for her when the show comes to a close.

Brown has continued to prove she’s got star power, also leading the Enola Holmes movie series for Netflix in which she shines. She’s very versatile as an actress, with the ability to bring emotional depth into any scene. It’s not surprising she’s an in-demand actress, with five upcoming titles reported on her IMDb page, but we think she’d make time for a big role like Laurie Strode if she was up for consideration. She’s already recently said she is more than ready to move on from Stranger Things — maybe a more mature horror show could be right up her alley?
