Ellie Darcey-Alden, a talented film and television actress, was born on September 4, 1999, in Oxford, England. Her acting career began with a local theatre production, which led to her being scouted for her first television role in the BBC's adaptation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles.
Her early work in television included appearances in BBC's Robin Hood and Holby City, with the latter featuring a recurring role for Ellie. However, it was her portrayal of Young Lily Evans in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 that brought her widespread recognition.
Ellie's impressive performance in the Harry Potter series led to her being cast in the 2012 Christmas special of BBC's Doctor Who, playing a primary character. She has also worked on various films, ITV series, and modeling contracts throughout her career.
In 2013, Ellie relocated to Los Angeles, California, after her father took up a position at SpaceX. She continues to pursue her passion for acting in film and television, while also dedicating time to her love of animals.
As a foster parent, Ellie rescues and rehabilitates abused animals in the Los Angeles area. Her passion for horses and dancing is evident, as she volunteers at local stables and continues to take dance classes.
