Top 10 Breakout Stars of 20174 of 10
7. Sophia Lillis
When It debuted earlier this fall, movie fans fully expected Pennywise the clown (Bill Skarsgård) to dominate the screen and haunt their dreams. But few expected Sophia Lillis to linger in their memories long after the nightmares receded. The young actress, playing tough-as-nails Beverly Marsh, frequently outshone her male counterparts in the Losers' Club and stared down the scariest that Pennywise had to offer, all the while tackling a character whose family life is similarly horrific. All to say, Sophia portrayed the year's most fierce and fearless horror hero. No small feat for an actress still not old enough to hold a driver's license.
