For Millicent Simmonds, first big movie role was a 'huge honor'

PITTSBURGH — There’s a movie star living among the residents of Pittsburgh, and she’s just getting started.

Cinephiles who saw Millicent Simmonds in 2017’s “Wonderstruck” probably weren’t fully aware of who she was until her turn as Regan Abbott in 2018’s “A Quiet Place” and last year’s “A Quiet Place Part II.” The 19-year-old Bountiful, Utah, native moved with her family to Pittsburgh in fall of 2020 and has been living in the Steel City ever since.

The Post-Gazette recently caught up with Simmonds to discuss how she’s enjoying life as a yinzer, the movies and shows she’s currently working on, and the Millie ASL Mama Charm she recently designed for Cut+Clarity as a Mother’s Day gift in honor of her mom, Emily Simmonds. The 14-karat gold charm is currently on sale for $300 through cutandclarity.co.
