Millie Bobby Brown: 'I love the history that older people hold and the stories they tell'
Actor Millie Bobby Brown joined Nuala McGovern in the Woman鈥檚 Hour studio for today鈥檚 programme鈥�
Whilst you might recognise Millie from her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, or from the Enola Holmes film series, which she produced and starred in, she鈥檚 now turned her hand to writing.
Her debut novel, Nineteen Steps, is based on her grandmother鈥檚 life in London鈥檚 East End during WWII.
She told Nuala all about her Nanny Ruth, why she wanted to put her story down in writing, and she shared why she would have chosen to work in a care home if she hadn鈥檛 become an actor.
She wants to encourage readers to speak to their parents and grandparents to find out more about their family history and listen to the stories older generations have to tell.
