of being an actor. Therefore, when Millie Bobby Brown got to portray Eleven in
Stranger Things and Enola in Enola Holmes, adapting the character became a
little easier for her. However, there are some key changes she had to make to
justify the character, which she talks about in an interview.

Meanwhile, in Stranger Things, Eleven took charge of the evil situations and
found her voice. She spoke loudly for her rights and herself. The 18-year-old
actress portrayed both of these characters. Talking about them, Brown revealed

The actress also said she believed in women’s rights, specifically that of
children. She added she wanted to protect them as much as she could. She started
out in the industry when she was just a child. The young Eleven actress got an
amazing education, and she wished to give the same kind of education to others
as well. With the changing world, Brown is of the belief that we need to educate
our next young generation to help change the planet.
