    After starring in two Stephen King movies and sleuthing a spooky mystery as Nancy Drew, does the young Sophia put any credibility into things that go bump in the night?

    Sophia began acting when her stepfather cast her in his student film project. After that, he encouraged her to pursue more acting work by enrolling her in acting classes at Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in Manhattan.

    Lillis had auditioned for the part of Beverly in the first It movie but was passed over when Cary Fukunaga was the project’s director. When Andy Muschietti took over the director’s chair he went back and looked at Sophia audition. Something captured his interest, and Muschietti asked Lillis to reaudition for the role of Beverly.
