Early life

Butters was born in Los Angeles, California, to parents Lorelei and Darrin; her father is a Disney animator who has worked on films such as Frozen and Ralph Breaks the Internet.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Julia Butters began her career doing commercials. Her first speaking role was the role of Gabby in Criminal Minds.[3] In 2016, Butters portrayed the recurring role of Ella in the Amazon Prime Video series Transparent.[4] Later that year, she began starring in the ABC sitcom American Housewife as Anna-Kat Otto.[5] When Quentin Tarantino was writing the script of his ninth film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he spotted Butters on television, and later cast her in the role of precocious child actress Trudi Fraser.[6] After she received critical acclaim for this role, Butters decided to pursue similar opportunities, leading her to leave American Housewife after four seasons.[7] In December 2020, Butters was cast in Netflix’s The Gray Man.[8] In June 2021, it was announced that Butters was cast in The Fabelmans, Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical coming-of-age film as Reggie Fabelman, a character based on Spielberg's sister Anne.[9] In August 2022, Butters was cast as Lily in the film Queen of Bones.[10]
